Resizing Column Header?

[ktchan741]

Is there anyway to auto-resize the width of a column header?
I have created a data grid using the following:

Dim objTable As DataTable - objDS.Tables(0)
objTable.Columns(0).ColumnName="First Name"
objTable.Columns(1).ColumnName="Last Name"

Upon execution, the column name (i.e. First Name and Last Name) is only shown partially. I need to resize manually by dragging the column header.

I am using vb.net.
Advise appreciated.

You'll have to create Table Style, add Column Style to Table Style and add Table Style to DataGrid in order to change column properties. Here's the code

'Bind your DataGrid.
DataGrid1.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables("TableName")

'Create Table Style.
Dim myTS As New DataGridTableStyle

'Set MappingName for TableStyle.
myTS.MappingName = myDataSet.Tables("TableName")

'Create 1st column.
Dim myCOL As New DataGridTextBoxColumn
With myCOL
.MappingName = "ColumnName"
.HeaderText = "HeaderText"
.Width = 100
End With
myTS.GridColumnStyles.Add(myCOL)

'Create 2nd column.
myCOL = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
With myCOL
.MappingName = "ColumnName"
.HeaderText = "HeaderText"
.Width = 200
End With
myTS.GridColumnStyles.Add(myCOL)
..........
..........

'Add TableStyle to the DataGrid.
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(myTS)
