WinForms DataGrid - Avoiding Paint, Brushes, Table/Column Styles etc. - Can Infragistics or ComponentArt Do It Better?

Rather than all that painting, brush, etc. code to change the styles of a
..NET datagrid to start with and on the fly, I'd rather be able to set a lot
of the stuff in the designer properties of the grid. Would I buy any code
savings buy using an Infragistics/whatever datagrid? Any recommendations for
a best practices doing it with the .NET datagrid? I guess a custom control
dll type data grid with lots of nice properties would be interesting but I
wanted to avoid that also.

If this is not the proper news group to discuss this can someone let me know
what is? I don't have a good reply to on this posting so you will have to
post your answer for me to read it.
