I have this list view in csharp and would like the columns to fill the entire space but I cannot find that property. In the DataGridView there is a property called AutoSizeColumnMode is there such a property in the listView

You can do this,

YourListView.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.ColumnContent);
YourListView.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize);

EDIT

Since you wanted the columns to be equally sized, as @berkay mentioned, you could do this,

foreach (ColumnHeader column in YourListView.Columns){
     column.Width = YourListView.Width / YourListView.Columns.Count;
}

The above code will read each column height and and divide the total width by the number of columns.

Try this,

foreach (ColumnHeader column in listView1.Columns){
     column.Width = listView1.Width / listView1.Columns.Count;
}

Hope helps,
