C# ListView Column Width Auto

Question

How can I set the column width of a c# winforms listview control to auto. Something like width = -1 / -2 ?

Answer 1

You gave the answer: -2 will autosize the column to the length of the text in the column header, -1 will autosize to the longest item in the column. All according to MSDN. Note though that in the case of -1, you will need to set the column width after adding the item(s). So if you add a new item, you will also need to assign the width property of the column (or columns) that you want to autosize according to data in ListView control.

Answer 2

Use this:

yourListView.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.ColumnContent);

yourListView.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize);
