    if (s.Width > dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Width)
    {
        using (
  Brush gridBrush = new SolidBrush(this.dataGridView1.GridColor),
  backColorBrush = new SolidBrush(e.CellStyle.BackColor))
        {
            e.Graphics.FillRectangle(backColorBrush, e.CellBounds);
            e.Graphics.DrawString(e.Value.ToString(), dataGridView1.Font, Brushes.Black, e.CellBounds,StringFormat.GenericDefault);
            dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Height = (int)(s.Height * Math.Ceiling( s.Width / dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Width)) ;
            e.Handled = true;
        }
    }
