C#

dgvhadiths.Columns[3].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells;

I WANT to fit gridview width according to the size of my winForm plus i want to show complete content of cell of gridview (without the increasing of gridview width).

You can set the width of the gridview, and even the column widths themselves. I would assume you want to wrap the text in the gridviw.

DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True
AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells

Note, if your data has no spaces in it, it may not wrap. if that is the case, you may need to write a method to insert line breaks every 10-15 amount of characters, depending on the size of your column.
