    C# Version of MFC CListCtrl

    In a prior MFC application, I used the CListCtrl to add a table to my UI. I used the CListCtrl because it gave me the ability to programaticly update the table inserting columns, and then setting the test for each row and or column. I could even resize the column width to accommodate longer strings. Now I need to set up a table and specify how many columns in the table, allow the user to input data into rows of each column, and later extract data from each row/column. What C# control should I use, and where can I find a list of operations for this control. The ListControl object in C# is an abstract class and doesn't provide the same functionality as CListCtrl.

    Try the DataGridView.

    Thanks, according to the documentation this may be what I am looking for, but where is this defined. Is this not defined in .Net 2003?

    System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView does not exsist on 2003

    The best way to go is to upgrade to .Net 2.0. If that's not an option, you can use DataGrid.

    the DataGrid doesn't seem to offer the same options as DataGridView, like songsDataGridView.rows.add delete etc...
