I want to have more control over the layout of displayed data in my
windows form instead of using a datagrid.

I'd like to use a DataReader but I can use a DataSet if need be.
In asp.net I can use a repeater control or a DataList control. Is there
anything available in C# .net for windows forms that can produce similar
results?
 
E Stafford,

There is nothing like the repeater control in Windows Forms. You would
have to basically create the control that you want, position it, and bind it
to the ^row^ of data you wish. Then you would move to the next row, and
repeat.

Hope this helps.

Do you know of any good resources or instruction for creating custom
controls? Hopefuly something that a newbie can understand and follow as
I am very new to C# and .net.
