Text orientation

[Guest]

Hi, I have a list of names from a database such as

Smith
Jones
Baker
Stocks
Chapman
Peters

I would like to display these names as the header of related data as follows

S J B S C P
m o a t h e
i n k o a t
t e e c p e
h s r k m r
s a s
n


or, as below, but each name rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Much like
what you can do with a word table cell and it's text direction.

Smith Jones Baker Stocks Chapman Peters

you need to do something like the following to rotate the text thru
90degrees
It should center the text vertically about x, y



StringFormatFlags sff = StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical;
StringFormat vcFormat = new StringFormat(sff);

vcFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;

myGraphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, x, y, vcFormat);

The list is in a windows form as a datagrid, but I can't get the list to
display horizontally. Is this possible?

Thanks

sorry I haven't used datagrids much. I can't help you on that.
