You should set DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode property of column to DataGridViewTriState.True. After that text in cells will be displayed correctly.

Example (DataGridView with one column):

dataGridView1.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
dataGridView1.Rows.Add("test" + Environment.NewLine + "test");

(Environment.NewLine = \r\n in Windows)

This may not be enough. You should also set the row heights. Or dataGridView1.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells; – Bahadır Yağan Apr 13 '11 at 20:30

If you want to active the multiline text in DataGridView control then WrapMode should be true

In my case, I got it to work this way (in addition to setting both AutoSizeRowsMode to AllCells and AutoSizeColumnsMode to AllCells):

dgvTwinReverb.Columns[PEANUT_GALLERY_COLUMN].DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
dgvTwinReverb.Columns[PEANUT_GALLERY_COLUMN].MinimumWidth = PEANUT_GALLERY_COLUMN_DESIRED_WIDTH;
