Hello Sir,
I have 2 DropdownList and 1 TextBox.DropdownList1 is for StartTime,DropdownList2 is for EndTime and Textbox is for TaskDescription.
I have made table for that in sqlserver.in that TaskDescription is varchar(5000).
I have one gridview for display this 3 value.

ASP.NET

<asp:GridView ID="grdView" runat="server" CssClass="table table-bordered" AutoGenerateColumns="False" TabIndex="1" Width="100%" GridLines="Vertical" OnRowCreated="grdView_RowCreated" OnRowDataBound="grdView_RowDataBound">
                                   <Columns>
                                       <asp:BoundField  HeaderText="#"/>
                                       <asp:BoundField DataField="LoginDate" HeaderText="TimeSheet Date" SortExpression="LoginDate" />
                                       <asp:BoundField DataField="TimeIn" HeaderText="Start Time" SortExpression="TimeIn" />
                                       <asp:BoundField DataField="TimeOut" HeaderText="End Time" SortExpression="TimeOut" />
                                       <asp:BoundField DataField="TaskDescription" HeaderText="Task Description" SortExpression="TaskDescription"  />
                                       <asp:BoundField DataField="TimeSpent" HeaderText="Time Spent" SortExpression="TimeSpent" />
                                       <asp:BoundField DataField="EmployeeId" HeaderText="EmployeeId" SortExpression="EmployeeId" Visible="false"/>
                                   </Columns>
                               </asp:GridView>

Now My problem is If we enter some long string into TextBox(TaskDescription),this is display but i want If i enter long string into textbox so in gridview that string display same length so my gridview become long just i want that if string is long that time string will wrap so easly can display.

Check out for AutoSizeRowsMode

C#

dataGridView1.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.DisplayedCells;

Also set the following properties :
1. Set the AutoSizeRowsMode to AllCells
2. DataGridView.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode to DataGridViewTriState.True
3. If it does'nt work then you can use :

ASP.NET

<asp:GridView>
   <RowStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
</asp:GridView>

(You can also Replace the horizontal alignment property)
