I'm working on DataGridView and was wondering if there's a property that automatically makes cells bigger if the content requires it.
So far I have, at the end of the DataGridViewBindingComplete handler:
dataGridView1.AutoResizeRows(DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells);
But unfortunately, that didn't do the trick.
Here's what I tried so far:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private void dgv1BindingComplete(object sender, DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
    {
        dataGridView1.AutoResizeRows(DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells);
    }
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        // [...] set up datasource: orders
        dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
        dataGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells;
        dataGridView1.DataSource = orders;
        DataGridViewTextBoxColumn idCol = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
        idCol.DataPropertyName = "id";
        idCol.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCellsExceptHeader;
        idCol.HeaderText = "#";
        idCol.DisplayIndex = 0;
        DataGridViewTextBoxColumn placedCol = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
        placedCol.DataPropertyName = "placed";
        placedCol.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCellsExceptHeader;
        placedCol.HeaderText = "Time Placed";
        placedCol.DisplayIndex = 1;
        // [...] more of these columns
        dataGridView1.Columns.Add(idCol);
        dataGridView1.Columns.Add(placedCol);
        // [...] adding the rest of the columns
        dataGridView1.DataBindingComplete += dgv1BindingComplete;
    }
}
With the following result:

The answer was hidden in another Stackoverflow question: How to set DataGridView textbox column to multi-line?
Setting the DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode to TriState.True did the trick.
datagridview1.RowsDefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True
datagridview1.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCellsExceptHeaders
