Control Sources

[Gav]

Hi all,

I'm just starting to program windows applications in c# (previously I have
been making web services/applications etc) the DataGrid is easy enough to
make it look exactly how you want in web applications but I cannot seem to
do much with it in windows forms... does anybody have any good sources of
information on customising the DataGrid?

Thanks
Gav

Oh any good sources on creating toolbars would be great also.. thanks again

Gav,

At first know that the datagrid in a webform is a complete different control
than the datagrid in a windowforms. Except that it shows both in a source
placed data in a grid.

Links for a windowforms datagrid are

Complete very nice free controls

Thanks for all the sources they should be a good help...

just a quick one though, can you remove the very first column (the one that
shows the arrow when a row is selected and a pen when it being edited)?

Thanks again
