Using datagridview

Ray
Hi,

I've just started getting into C# programming and am wanting to
develop a small gui that displays a table of files along with their
sizes . I am wondering if using the datagridview control is the way
to go or if it is overkill for what I want? (is there something else
I should be looking at?)

Cheers

If the application is not getting any data from a database or some other
source, there is no reason to use a datagridview control. The simplest
solution in your case is to use a listbox with two columns.

Take look at ListView, IMO it's lighter and easier to use than Datagridview
