Is there a way to auto-width or auto-height a control in C# WinForms?

I have a FlowLayoutPanel with some buttons inside. I want the FlowLayoutPanel width to be the same as the biggest button, but the height to be fixed. How can I accomplish that? I have googled it but all I found was about WPF.

You should be able to achieve this by setting the anchors on your controls accordingly.

You can simply LINQ through the controls and find the maximum width of your buttons:

int maxWidth = flp.Controls.OfType<Button>().Max(x => x.Width) + 
              (flp.Margin.Left + flp.Margin.Right);
flp.ClientSize = new Size(maxWidth, flp.ClientSize.Height);
