Text orientation

[jez123456]

Hi, I have a list of names from a database such as

Smith
Jones
Baker
Stocks
Chapman
Peters

I would like to display these names as the header of related data as follows

S J B S C P
m o a t h e
i n k o a t
t e e c p e
h s r k m r
s a s
n
or, as below, but each name rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Much like
what you can do with a word table cell and it's text direction.

you need to do something like the following to rotate the text thru
90degrees
It should center the text vertically about x, y

StringFormatFlags sff = StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical;
StringFormat vcFormat = new StringFormat(sff);

vcFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;

myGraphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, x, y, vcFormat);

The list is in a windows form as a datagrid, but I can't get the list to
display horizontally. Is this possible?

Thanks

sorry I haven't used datagrids much. I can't help you on that.
