Form Size

hi

I have a program which return some data as DataTable
then I put the DataTable in the DataGridView
and the view is added to the Form for display
the problem is :
the DataTable returned have different rows each time, so the height is different
how can I set the form to expand the form size automatically ??

thanks

So you don't want to have any scroll bars on the GridView control?

I would advise you against doint it - what size the form are you going to set for 2000 rows?? I'd rather have a scrollbar, which is a default option for a datagrid. You're talking about adding DataGridView to the form, I'd suggest it's in 2005, as it's not an option in 2003. There would be a scroll bar for that one as well i suggest.

good luck,
yurich

I would suggest scroll bars too, but maybe you know you only will have about 10 rows or something so here goes the code to resize the form:

put this line in the form code where you get the Nr of rows:

this.Size = new Size(Width, Height);

Width of course is the width of the form, end height..yes you know :)

u can calculate the height by for example NrofRows * (heighth of row) +EverythingButTheRowsConstantHeight

seems that all of them suggest to have scrollbar.
so I think I have to use the scrollbar.

and as of the points..it's hard to decide who should I give it to...
since AlexCode is the first one response, so I would give it to him...
hope Yurich and dkloeck don't mind

I have the same time for Alex and myself - there is the split points option for your future reference...
