Remove white space between Chart Area and Legends

How to remove this large blank space between my chart area and the legends? See that I even tried different docking styles but the gap is still there.
Any ideas?

I import the data from a CSV file, generated by another application. Every column is a new data series but they are all added into the same chart and chartArea element.
// Load data from CSV into a DataTable
DataTable dataTable = ReadCsvFile(System.IO.Path.GetFileName("mqlWeekRace.txt"), false);
Chart chart1 = new Chart();
chart1.Height = 1000;
chart1.Width = 1500;
chart1.ChartAreas.Add("ChartArea1");
chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.MajorGrid.LineWidth = 1;
chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.MajorGrid.LineDashStyle = ChartDashStyle.Dot;
chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.MajorGrid.LineWidth = 1;
chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.MajorGrid.LineDashStyle = ChartDashStyle.Dot;
chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.IsMarginVisible = false;
// chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.IsStartedFromZero = false;
// Line colors
string[] myColors = new string[] { "Blue", "DarkOrange", "Firebrick", "DarkSeaGreen", "DarkViolet", "Sienna",
"DarkOrchid", "IndianRed", "ForestGreen", "Teal", "MidnightBlue", "DimGray" };
int colorIndex = 0;
foreach (DataColumn col in dataTable.Columns)
{
if (!col.ColumnName.StartsWith("Data") && col.ColumnName.Length > 1)
{
chart1.Series.Add(col.ColumnName.ToString());
chart1.Series[col.ColumnName].ChartArea = "ChartArea1";
chart1.Legends.Add(new Legend(col.ColumnName));
chart1.Legends[col.ColumnName].LegendStyle = LegendStyle.Column;
chart1.Legends[col.ColumnName].Docking = Docking.Top;
chart1.Legends[col.ColumnName].Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 15);
chart1.Series[col.ColumnName].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Line;
chart1.Series[col.ColumnName].XValueMember = "Data";
chart1.Series[col.ColumnName].YValueMembers = col.ColumnName.ToString();
chart1.Series[col.ColumnName].XValueType = ChartValueType.Date;
chart1.Series[col.ColumnName].BorderWidth = 3;
chart1.Series[col.ColumnName].Color = System.Drawing.Color.FromName(myColors[colorIndex]);
colorIndex++;
}
}
chart1.DataManipulator.IsStartFromFirst = true;
chart1.DataSource = dataTable;
chart1.DataBind();

Where is data updated in a DataGridView?

I am creating a tab page entirley programatically from a button press in the root page of a tabbed control. At present all the page initialisation takes place in the button click method. After all the instantiation, data capture from file and so on, I finally want to adjust the column widths in the data grid view, so that all the row data appears without having to have horizontal scroll bars. With the help of all your contributors I have managed to get it all working but the last step. Running at full speed it appears the DataGridView is accessed before the data load from the table is complete as it fails with an exception because the count derived from RegistersGrid.ColumnCount (local variable l) is zero. It all works fine if I step through the code. I am assuming that I need to put a Mutex of some form to wait for the transfer to complete, but I can't work out where that is taking place in order to reset the flag! If someone can point me in the right direction or if there is better more structured way to approach this I would deeply appreciate the help :-)
I have included all the code in the method just in case, I am afraid I date back a long way so if this looks like the awkward child of assembler,pascal and c with a little c# thrown in, my apologies....it's my age :-)

Why when adding links to datagridview it's adding only one row?

In this case there are 40 links. but when running the program i see it's adding only one row the last one.
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
label2.Visible = false;
label3.Visible = false;
label4.Visible = false;
label7.Visible = false;
tbxMainDownloadPath.Text = Properties.Settings.Default.LastSelectedFolder;
if (tbxMainDownloadPath.Text != "")
downloadDirectory = tbxMainDownloadPath.Text;
tracker = new DownloadProgressTracker.DownloadProgress(50, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500));
string[] countries = File.ReadAllLines(#"CountriesNames.txt");
string[] countriesCodes = File.ReadAllLines(#"CountriesCodes.txt");
foreach (string country in countries)
{
countryList.Add(country);
string countryPath = Path.Combine(downloadDirectory, country);
if (!Directory.Exists(countryPath))
Directory.CreateDirectory(countryPath);
}
foreach (string code in countriesCodes)
{
codesList.Add(code);
}
codeToFullNameMap = codesList
.Select((code, index) => index)
.ToDictionary(
keySelector: index => codesList[index],
elementSelector: index => countryList[index]);
lines = File.ReadAllLines(#"links.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
{
RichTextBoxExtensions.AppendText(true, richTextBox1, "Ready: ", Color.Red, 8.25f);
richTextBox1.AppendText(lines[i] + (i < lines.Length - 1 ? Environment.NewLine : String.Empty));
}
for (int i = 0; i < countriesCodes.Length; i++)
{
dataGridView1.Columns.Clear();
dataGridView1.ColumnCount = 2;
dataGridView1.Columns[0].Name = "Country";
dataGridView1.Columns[1].Name = "Code";
var countryName = codeToFullNameMap[countriesCodes[i]];
string[] row = new string[] { countryName, countriesCodes[i] };
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);
DataGridViewLinkColumn dgvLink = new DataGridViewLinkColumn();
dgvLink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
dgvLink.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault;
dgvLink.HeaderText = "Link Data";
dgvLink.Name = "SiteName";
dgvLink.LinkColor = Color.Blue;
dgvLink.TrackVisitedState = true;
dgvLink.Text = lines[i];
dgvLink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(dgvLink);
}
}
In countriesCodes there are 40 items.
The first problem is that it's adding only one country and it's link and it's the last one, it's not adding the rest.
Second problem is how can i make it to be moved to the right the ? I mean when running i'm using the mouse to drag the link column to the right to the datagridview end side on the right. How can i make to be already to the right end side ? Screenshot added after i dragged it to the right:
And third last problem how to remove the highlight from Country ? I don't want it to highlight anything. Now the highlight is automatic on the country when running the program.
Upodate
Solved all the problems i had:
for (int i = 0; i < countriesCodes.Length; i++)
{
dataGridView1.ColumnCount = 2;
dataGridView1.Columns[0].Name = "Country";
dataGridView1.Columns[1].Name = "Code";
var countryName = codeToFullNameMap[countriesCodes[i]];
string[] row = new string[] { countryName, countriesCodes[i] };
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);
DataGridViewLinkColumn dgvLink = new DataGridViewLinkColumn();
dgvLink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
dgvLink.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault;
dgvLink.HeaderText = "Link Data";
dgvLink.Name = "SiteName";
dgvLink.LinkColor = Color.Blue;
dgvLink.TrackVisitedState = true;
dgvLink.Text = lines[i];
dgvLink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(dgvLink);
}
this.dataGridView1.Columns[2].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
dataGridView1.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false;
dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor;
dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionForeColor = dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor;
dataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
dataGridView1.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;

for (int i = 0; i < countriesCodes.Length; i++)
{
dataGridView1.Columns.Clear();
You are clearing your columns 40 times, so only the last iteration through the loop leaves anything to display. Do all of your dataGridView1.Columns setup before the for loop. The for loop should only be adding Rows.

C# creating pictureboxes for every item in a list

So far i have
var championNamelist = new List<string>(championName);
var first5Names = championNamelist.Take(5);
var skip5Names = championNamelist.Skip(5);
foreach (string name in first5Names)
{
string getPNG = "http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/6.11.1/img/champion/" + png + ".png";
}
In the championNamelist are all the names found from an XML.
How do i get all the pictures shown on my form ?

if want dynamically create picture box then try
PictureBox[] p = new PictureBox[10];
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
p[i] = new PictureBox();
p[i].ImageLocation = "location";
p[i].Location = new Point(0,0);
p[i].Size = new Size(50, 50);
this.Controls.Add(p[i]);
}

Open XML MS Word Table Heading Row Height Text Direction Bottom to Top Left to Right

I am using Open XML SDK 2.5 to insert Tables in a Word Document. The issue I currently have is with the row height of my table heading. It works fine with normal text direction of Left to Right Top to Bottom LTTB. However as soon as I set the Text Direction to Bottom to Top Left to Right BTLR my heading rows do not adjust to fit the cell contents.
Code Below
