Autosize Columns in a datagrid

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to resize all columns in a datagrid after populating
it with DataRow objects, depending on the maximum size of the strings
in the textbox cells.

I tried a run through all the cells and measure with graphics.MeasureString(),
but got wrong results.

Anyone out there having a clue?

Michael.

Measure string works well. See this example:

It calculates enough fast (the complexity is log2n) the optimal visual
length of a string for a given length in pixels.
