Public Methods	Description
Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetOptimalWidth	Calculates the column's optimal width so that the cell contents in this column can be displayed without being clipped horizontally.
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance.
MakeOptimal	Sets the column's optimal width so that the cell contents in this column can be displayed without being clipped horizontally.
ReferenceEquals	Determines whether the specified Object instances are the same instance.
ScrollIntoView	Horizontally scrolls the column into view so it is displayed in the control's client area.
ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Protected Methods	Description
