Try the DataGrid1.expand method

Also, if you wanted more control over the display you could do something like this.

Dim objDataGridStyle As New DataGridTableStyle()
Dim objTextCol As New DataGridTextBoxColumn()

DataGrid1.TableStyles.Clear()

'The following code formats the datagrids column header and width
'Set the MappingName for the DataGridTableStyle
objDataGridStyle.MappingName = "ReturnData"

'Set references for columns
objTextCol.MappingName = "tsstamp"
objTextCol.Width = 110
objTextCol.HeaderText = "Event Date"
objDataGridStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(objTextCol)

objTextCol = New DataGridTextBoxColumn()
objTextCol.MappingName = "usrid"
objTextCol.Width = 45
objTextCol.HeaderText = "User ID"
objDataGridStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(objTextCol)

'Add the DataGridTableStyle to the DataGrid
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(objDataGridStyle)


This can also be acheived through the datagrids properties window.
