AutoSizeMode or AutosizeColumnsMode properties can't be set
Can anybody help me with understanding why is it that when selecting an option for the AutoSizeMode property of a ComboBox type column in a DataGridView (using the designer, not code), or the DataGridView's AutosizeColumnsMode property (again, not programmatically), when closing the form on which the DataGridView resides, I get the Exception: "DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid".
[TRUST ME. THE VALUE IS VALID!!!]
Only when selecting "NotSet" for the AuitoSizeMode property of the ComboBox column, or "None" for the DataGridView's AutosizeColumnsMode property, It works ok.
Is it a known bug. Or is it that I'm doing something, I can't even think of, wrong?

Yes, absolutely. This is not the problem.
Have you tried the suggestions where you dispose of the form when it is closed?

Where on earth did you find this blog item??
This is it!
A million thanks.

This will become 500 points (just want to hook on to you while I have your attention...), if you will be willing to address another, but related issue I have with the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
What is the meaning of the AutoComplete property?
I cant seem to utilize the property to what I am thinking it is meant to do: Enable an Auto Completion behavior of the text typed into the text portion of the ComboBox.
Or am I all wrong...?

It's all about finding the right Google expression ;)

Hello Bob.
Thanks for replying. Sorry I am so slow this time.
This I already know!
My problem is that I don't get the ability to write into the ComboBox, to even initiate an auto-completion task.
The ComboBox is fixed in terms of what its cell displays (it is a DataGridView ComboBox type column).
But still it has a property named AutoComplete. Even if it is set to True, The ComboBox cell is not allowing me any typing to make auto-completion happen...
