HeaderText Datagridgridview Alignment

Header

I have many Headers in the datagridview and the HeaderText is quite long for example 4 words. So the Datagridcell becomes big. I want to break the 4 words and put one by one below to reduce the size.

I tried checking the above link but I couldn't succeed.

dataGridView.ColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode = 
    DataGridViewColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode.AutoSize;

foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView.Columns)
{
    column.HeaderCell.Style.WrapMode= DataGridViewTriState.True;
}

Try this:

dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = "VeryLong " + "LongLong" + Environment.NewLine + "LongLongLong";

Environment.NewLine made line break

Result:

First Option: If you are looking for wrapping the text, the you can do that using CSS. Apply the class to your datagrid header.

Allow long words to be able to break and wrap onto the next line:

.wrapText {word-wrap:break-word;}

or 

.wrapText {word-wrap:normal;}

normal - Break words only at allowed break points break-word - Allows unbreakable words to be broken

Second Option: You can use datagrid "HeaderStyle" tag:

 <HeaderStyle Wrap="True"  />
