C# - Collection vs a DataGrid?

[David]

I need to store a list of data with 2 sets of information having a
common key file. This will be stored on a machine w/out access to any
DB server, so a DB option is out. What is the better way to store and
maintain this type of data in memory. A collection or a datagrid? I
know how to use both, but I am unsure of their flexibility in complex
situations.

Thanks

If your program will always be running, you may want to check out datasets.
A dataset is essentially a disconnected database stored in memory. Yo can
add relations, alter records, keep track of different versions of each
record, ect.

hope this helps
