Hi I have a table layout panel and in that i have kept datagridview and picturebox.

	    this.tlpFreeNumbers.ColumnCount = 2;
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.AutoSize = true;
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.AutoSizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoSizeMode.GrowAndShrink;
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 100F));
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Absolute, 25F));
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.Controls.Add(this.dgvfreeNumbers, 0, 0);
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.Controls.Add(this.pcbGridError, 1, 0);
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 19);
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.Name = "tlpFreeNumbers";
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.RowCount = 1;
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.RowStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.RowStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 100F));
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(800, 157);
            this.tlpFreeNumbers.TabIndex = 0;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.AllowUserToDeleteRows = false;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.AllowUserToResizeRows = false;
            dataGridViewCellStyle1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(227)))), ((int)(((byte)(227)))), ((int)(((byte)(227)))));
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle = dataGridViewCellStyle1;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.AutoSizeColumnsMode = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.ColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode.AutoSize;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(3, 3);
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(6, 0, 0, 6);
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.MultiSelect = false;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.Name = "dgvfreeNumbers";
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.RowHeadersVisible = false;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.RowTemplate.Height = 24;
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(800, 151);
            this.dgvfreeNumbers.TabIndex = 0;
            this.pcbGridError.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(100, 3);
            this.pcbGridError.Name = "pcbGridError";
            this.pcbGridError.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(37, 32);
            this.pcbGridError.TabIndex = 1;
            this.pcbGridError.TabStop = false;
I have declared as above in the designer my problem is When error occurs picture box should be displayed or else
Picture box should not be displayed. When i load the below scrren is displayed in that if we observe there is
Gap between groupbox and grid. I need to remove the gap when loaded the Grid should be filled fully. And when error comes
Picture box should be displayed by slightly shrinking the Grid. Is is possible could you let me know.

Hi Raju_Hai,

Base on my understanding. If you set the Dock property of the DataGridView to None at design time, you can direcly set the Dock property to Fill / None so that the dataGridView will fill fully or the original size.

dataGridView1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

Best regards,

Hi Chester,

Sorry for the late reply. It is not working when doc property is set at runtime also. Working on that how to make the

grid fill the space.
