As we don't have access to your code and computer we can not help you sufficiently.
Try seeking out advice from someone in your neighbourhood or follow a course on the subject, e.g. one of these: Top Windows Forms Courses Online - Updated [February 2021] | Udemy[^]

Solution 1

In the design view of your main form, select the DataGridView, then in the Properties page set Anchor to Top, Left and Dock to Fill.

sir you say using dock property is problematic

Richard MacCutchan 19-Feb-21 5:17am

I cannot guess what that means. Please think about what you need to say, and provide full details.

That was my advice, I prefer not to use Dock as I had some problems with it in the past.

I ran a test earlier and it seems to do what is necessary. But I have never tried a DGV with more than about 10 columns.

The problems I encountered were with a datagridview placed in a usercontrol. I also think Anchor is easier to use when you want other controls like e.g. Buttons aligned next or under the datagridview. But all this might be a personal preference of course :)

Well despite what the documentation may say, everyone's experience seems to be different. But that is all part of the fun. :)
