Sysfusion DataGrid ( George Shepherd's Windows Forms FAQ Site )

[rawCoder]

Hi,

Ever been to George Shepherd's Windows Forms FAQ site at Sysfusion
http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c44c.asp
Great site with almost all the How-To stuff related to Windows Forms.

I was just wondering if there is some Grid and TableStyles which
implement/utilizes ALL the tips and tricks used in the FAQ.
Although individually almost all the tips have samples, but they are very
specialized for particular task.

May be some one or Mr. Shepherd himself has this Grid.

Thank You,
rawCoder

rawCoder,

I don't think that there is anything out there that does this, at least,
not that's free. Your best bet would be to use SyncFusion's grid, since a
number of those entries probably came from the development of their grid.

Also, if your constraints allow it, check out the DataGridView in .NET
2.0. It's a vast improvement over the original DataGrid.

Hope this helps.

RawCoder,

I am almost sure that it is impossible what you ask because by instance
there are two methods for comboboxes given on that FAQ site.

However did you already look at the pages from two persons from which one is
still very active in this dotNet newsgroups and the other one was that a
while. (Although he is still active I thought, however more in specialized
dotNet newsgroups)

Well I was working on the dataGrid lately and needed to do some very minor
customisations like coloured cells and scrolling etc.

On searching, most of the solution insists on deriving your grid and
tableStyles and then customize it to your need.

I know GridView in 2.0 might have it all, but guess i was too lazy to derive
a column style and use code to attach it and blah blah blah although i had
to do it anyways.

For simpler things, I really miss the old VB6 Data Grid adn VS Flex Grid.

Currently even after all the tweaking , there is almost no IDE support.

The two links are quite fine, and I am looking forward for 2.0 - till then
will just have to stick to inheriting and customizing.

Thank You all for prompt reply.
