DataGridView vertical scrollbar not updating properly (Forms bug?)

Question

I\'ve encountered a bug (I assume) in .NET 3.5. When adding rows to a DataGridView using Rows.Add(), while the DGV is disabled, the vertical scrollbar doesn\'t update proper

Answer 1

It was observed that, when the DataGridView1's width and height were compared with the width and height of the form, and the width and height were reset if they exceeded the form's dimensions, the scroll bars became visible.

Try the following code, which will dynamically add a DataGridView control to a Form and create a square grid with row and column header names:

  Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        'Following code adds a Datagridview control to a Form dynamically
        'Step 1.  Add a textbox to a Form, and input the number of columns (ncol). (Note: in this example, ncol=nrow).   
        'Step 2.  Set the Form's Windowstate property to Maximized
        For Each cont As Control In Me.Controls 'remove DataGridView if it already exists on the Form
            If TypeOf (cont) Is DataGridView Then
                Me.Controls.Remove(cont)
            End If
        Next
        Dim DataGridView1 As New DataGridView 'create new data grid view dynamically during run-time
        Me.Controls.Add(DataGridView1) 'add the data grid view to the Form
        Me.Refresh()
        Dim i, nrow, ncol As Integer ' ncol=nrow -->this is a square grid
        ncol = TextBox1.Text
        nrow = ncol 'Note: add a second textbox to the form and input nrow if you don't want a square grid
        DataGridView1.Visible = True
        DataGridView1.Top = 100
        DataGridView1.Left = 100
        DataGridView1.Rows.Clear()
        Do While DataGridView1.Columns.Count > 0
            DataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(DataGridView1.Columns.Count - 1)
        Loop
        For i = 1 To ncol
            DataGridView1.Columns.Add(i, "V" & i)
        Next
        DataGridView1.Width = ncol * 115
        DataGridView1.Height = nrow * 22 + 45
        If DataGridView1.Width > Me.Width - DataGridView1.Left Then DataGridView1.Width = Me.Width - DataGridView1.Left - 20
        If DataGridView1.Height > Me.Height - DataGridView1.Top Then DataGridView1.Height = Me.Height - DataGridView1.Top - 50
        DataGridView1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None
        For i = 1 To nrow
            DataGridView1.Rows.Add()
            DataGridView1.Rows.Item(i - 1).HeaderCell.Value = "V" & i
        Next
        DataGridView1.AutoResizeRowHeadersWidth(DataGridViewRowHeadersWidthSizeMode.AutoSizeToAllHeaders)
        Dim dgvColumnHeaderStyle As New DataGridViewCellStyle()
        dgvColumnHeaderStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
        DataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle = dgvColumnHeaderStyle
        DataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = False
        DataGridView1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
    End Sub
