FlexGrid Control in VS .Net 2003

[fripper]

I have just purchased a new system and am moving stuff off the old machine
to the new ... including reinstalling VS .Net 2003 and several VB programs I
had written. One of the programs uses a FlexGrid control but after moving
it to the new machine that control is gone! I cannot remember how I set-up
the flex control ... it is not a standard VB 2003 control. The program (on
the old machine) has references to AxMSComCtl2, AxMSFlexGridLib, MSComCtls
and MSFlexGridLib ... but after moving the program over to the new machine
those references are gone and a reference to something called adodb has been
added. I see these references under the References node in Solution
Explorer. If someone has suggestions for how to establish references to
these control/libraries on the new machine I would appreciate it ... they
don't show up in the Project > Add References menu.

Thanks very much.

FlexGrid is from VB6, the reference is added from the COM tab.

Fripper,

Be aware that we did not ever see anybody succeeding to use the flexgrid
without any problem in VBNet.

Try the datagrid instead.

Just as advice.

Tom:

These reference names do not appear in the list presented by the COM tab ...
are they hidden in there under some other name?

Thanks.

The flesgrisd came with VB6 not VS 2003. Suggest you either change it to use
the new datagrid or reinstall VB6.

Seems to me it would be much easier to use a DataTable to hold the data and
a DataGrid to display the table. I used to use the FlexGrid in VB6 but find
the DataGrid much, much easier.
