Can I use DataSet, DataGridView and PropertyGrids without resortingto C++/CLI?

[google]

Is it possible to access all of the cool features of the new .net 2.0
& 3.0 with native win32 (C++)? I'd like to use cool components like
DataSet, DataGridView and PropertyGrids without resorting to C++/CLI
and the like...

The fact that they're .Net components means that you've got to have
some managed code involved, so the answer is no.

Well, there are CWinFormsControl, CWinFormsDialog and CWinFormsView that can be
used in an MFC application, but of course your app then becomes dependent on the
..NET runtime (and must also use dynamic linking to CRT/MFC).
