What control do I use to show tabular data?

[John Doe]

Hi folks, I'm a newbie to VB.NET. I have data which I would like to show in
a table format although it's not coming from a database or anything like
that. Is there a control that I can use for this? Do I use the DataGrid or
do I use a multi-column listbox? It would also be helpful if I could store
other objects in the table cells such as checkboxes, images, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Davis Bennett

You can do all of that with a dataGrid and you can bind to all sorts of
things, even Strongly Typed Collections. In addition, you can do all that
you want with Combo boxes and all.

Remember, you can create a Client Side DataTable/DataSet that NEVER saw a
Database and you can bind to that.

HTH,
