Setting RadDropDownButtonElement MinSize property does not make the RadDropDownButton control stretch to fit its element. Currently, the issue can be avoided through adding the following three lines of code: this.radDropDownButton1.RootElement.StretchHorizontally = false; this.radDropDownButton1.RootElement.StretchVertically = false; this.radDropDownButton1.RootElement.SaveCurrentStretchModeAsDefault();
