Hi,
I have been facing problems adjusting the column length to best fit based on the maximum data present in any of the columns field.
i.e.
the column should automatically maximize to the maximum length of the records in that column
Can you please Help me out, as currently all of my columns are compressed and i have to manually expand each column to have a look at my data.

Note: My gridview is being populated by list using the (datasource) property.

Hello Faheem Nadeem,

You can achieve this by calling BestFit() method of RadGridView Columns. Here is how you can do it:

foreach (GridViewDataColumn col in this.radGridView1.Columns)  
{  
    col.BestFit();  

Write again if you have other questions.

Kind regards,
