Question

My datagridview abbreviates the rest of the string when the cell is too small to contain the string.

How do I make it so that a horizontal scrollbar is shown so that the content can be viewed?

The datagridview is docked (fill) to the form and has a single column header with fill property as well.

Answer 1

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Body">
<ItemTemplate>
 <div style="overflow:auto; height: 100px;">
  <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Body")%>'></asp:Label>
 </div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Use in this way in your gridview inorder to set the overflowing data. This shows the scrollbars.
