vb.net controls : Grid control

Hello everyone:

I am a VB 6.0 programmer, and I am slowly trying to convert to VB.NET. In
VB 6, I was using quite a bit the MSHflexgrid control. This grid control
was not attached to any database or anything. I simply used it to display
information to the user, and get information from the user such as a matrix.
I was wondering if in vb.Net, there is such a grid control that is not
attached to any databases?

Also, in vb.net, how do you add or remove controls to a project?

I appreciate all your helps.

Bob

In response to your last question, right-click inside the tab you are
interested in adding controls to, and select "Choose Items...".

In response to your first question, I don't believe there are any built-in
DotNet grids that are not designed specifically for data binding, however
you can add any legacy ActiveX controls you need if you really, really want
to (not recommended).

I would suggest you try FlexGrid from ComponentOne. I've used it since 1998.
As grid controls go, it's one of the best.

Hello Bob,

The regualr DataGrid (or DataGridView in vs05) will work for you rpurposes.
You just need to fill a DataTable by hand (no need to connect to a real
database) and bind the control to the DataTable.

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any example or where I can get one? In
the VB 6, I used the textmatrix property of the grid.

Thanks Paul. I actually have the ComponentOne tools that they offered for
free a while ago. However, I did not know that they have a .Net version as
well. I guess, I will try it. Thanks for your help.

Hello Bob,

Just make a datatable and set the grid.datasource = it.
