    Hi @Spideregg , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    You need to modify the property of DataGridView.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode to DataGridViewTriState.True.

    For example as follows:

    dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
    dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = "Student\nname";
    

    enter image description here

    Best Regards,

    Jiale
