# Best practices

## Form

* `AutoSize` = `True`

* `AutoSizeMode` = `GrowAndShrink`

* `StartPosition` = `CenterScreen`

  * `Form.CenterToScreen()` is not intended to be used directly from your code.

    * https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.centertoscreen.aspx

* `TopMost` = `True`

## ComboBox

* `Sorted` = `True`

## DataGridView

* `MultiSelect` = `False`

## ListView

```csharp

liewView1.BeginUpdate();

liewView1.Items.Clear();

// Say, xs is defined somewhere else.

foreach (var lvi in xs.Select(x => new ListViewItem(new[]

{

    x.Foo,

    x.Bar,

    x.Baz

}) { Tag = x }))

{

    liewView1.Items.Add(lvi);

}

liewView1.AutoResizeColumns(liewView1.Items.Count == 0

    ? ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize

    : ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.ColumnContent);

    

liewView1.EndUpdate();

```
