Automatic resizing of the Windows Forms controls
.net, c#, winforms
Solution
You can use Dock, or for more precise control use the Anchor property. By setting Anchor to Left, Right, Top, Bottom the control will scale with the window. By setting Anchor to Right the control will move with the right border. By setting Anchor to Top and Bottom the control will scale vertically, but have a fixed width. Just experiment
Problem
I'm using VS2008's designer for doing this. For example if I've a windows form of size say 500x500 and I added a DataGridView to it (490x490). when I run this program. and maximize the form, the DataGridView still remains of the same size. rest of the additional space is blank on the form. I want DataGridView to also take the entire window size. No software will be like that. I don't know what to change inorder get desired behaviour.
