Hi,
Here is a copy of a datagridtextboxcolumn that I am working on. It
will automatically adjust the row height based to fit the data in it. There
is a bug when you add a record it sets the all rows back to the default
height.
Imports System.Reflection
Public Class MultiLineColumn
Inherits DataGridTextBoxColumn
Private mTxtAlign As HorizontalAlignment
Private mDrawTxt As New StringFormat
Private mbAdjustHeight As Boolean = True

BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy Or BindingFlags.IgnoreCase Or
BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.NonPublic Or BindingFlags.Public Or
BindingFlags.Static)

arHeights = New ArrayList
Dim dgRowHeight As Object
For Each dgRowHeight In dgra
If dgRowHeight.ToString().EndsWith("DataGridRelationshipRow") =
True Then
arHeights.Add(dgRowHeight)
End If
Next
End Sub

mTxtAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Left
mDrawTxt.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near

cellIsVisible)

Me.TextBox.Multiline = mbAdjustHeight
