.net – DataGridView – how to set column width

controlsdatagridviewnetwinforms

I have a WinForms application with DataGridView control. My control has five
columns (say "Name", "Address", "Phone" etc)

I am not happy with default column width. I want to have more control over column appearance. What I want
is to be able to do one of the following:

Set width of each column in percent
Set width of each column in pixels
Use some other best-practive method (make width to fit text etc)

Please suggest – which property to use and how.

You can use the DataGridViewColumn.Width property to do it:

DataGridViewColumn column = dataGridView.Columns[0];
column.Width = 60;

C# – How to calculate someone’s age based on a DateTime type birthday

An easy to understand and simple solution.

// Save today's date.
var today = DateTime.Today;

// Calculate the age.
var age = today.Year - birthdate.Year;

// Go back to the year in which the person was born in case of a leap year
if (birthdate.Date > today.AddYears(-age)) age--;

However, this assumes you are looking for the western idea of the age and not using East Asian reckoning.
