I'm not sure, Fabien. I don't think GridView.AutoResize takes content width into account.

I was thinking that AutoResize was just a shortcut for GridView.Columns[GridView1.Columns.Max].Expand = True. But, that does not 
appear to be the case. If the first and last columns are set Expand = True, they both expand equally. That is, unless AutoResize 
is set to False, then no columns expand.

If Benoît doesn't weight in on this soon, I'll probably just file a bug report and let him reject it if it is expected behavior. 
Then I can update the Wiki if needed.
