What control should I use to display an editable table of data?

Hi! I've got some data that I want to display and edit in table-format,
just like you would in Excel.

It seems like this should be fairly straightforward , but I can't find
any controls that do what I want. The closest one I've found is a
ListView, but it will only let me edit the first column of data.

What control should I be using? My data is very simple (about 10
ArrayLists, each with 2 strings followed by 2 floats).

Thanks : O )

Have you looked at the DataGrid (in .NET 1.1 and before) or the
DataGridView (in .NET 2.0)? They are grid controls meant for the display
and editing of tabular data.

Hope this helps.

No, I hadn't, I was under the impression that DataGrids only supported
external DBs as data sources.

I'll give that a look, thanks!

A data grid will support anything that implements IList, actually, and
there are a lot of things out there that do. =)

Most of my Access database implementations have been fairly small in terms of data volume and number of concurrent users. So far I haven't had performance issues to worry about. <knock on wood> But I am curious about what techniques those of you who have done higher volume access implementations use to ensure high performance of the database in a multi-user 100mbps LAN implementation???

Hi, I am trying to populate a list control that is bound to a data table but the display member needs to come from a different data table. I have two list controls in C#, one displaying available categories and one displaying selected categories. In the database these are represented in two tables, the available category table has an ID and a Name. The other table is a category links table that has an ID, Category_ID and a Book_ID.
