Hi,

One of the decisive factors trying to decide between using a Datagrid OR a
Listview is the ease of extracting the data, after either of the controls is
filled.
Both to store in a Text/Excel file AND to store some columns in arrays for
further statistical processing.

Which one of the two is better for ease of later manipulation of data?

(BTW: I know that a listview doesnt have a constant connection with the
database but after it has been filled wouldn't ALL the data be readily
available.)

TIA

Steve,

Easy, only in the textcolumn of the Listview you can edit, that makes the
decission very simple in my opinion.

A datagrid has as well not a constant connection with a database, although
its datasource is forever a datatable or related datatables.

I hope it helps something.

I am sorry Cor, I don't quite understand. I am a bit dizzy with all the
coding ... :)

You are suggesting Listview, but I don't quite understand the reasons.

Thanx again!

No, no, the listview has only one editable column.

Therefore I advice the Datagrid.
