Question

There is a functionality I was dreaming of implementing one day, and that day is today.
I have a datagrid with hundreds of lines and my client doesn’t even want to hear about paging (special use case). So I would like to be able to resize all rows AND content (text) with a “magnifying glass +/- ” tool that affects the height of all rows in my DGV and also the Font of the text in it.
There are many ways to perform this and I wanted to ask what was a convenient and advisable way to do this (As I am more of a server-side than GUI oriented developer)

Thanks in advance
