A form with multiple lines

[Peter]

I am new to dotNet. I want to develop a order form. The form contains
header and details. In the detail, there are mulitple lines, sometime like a
subform of MS Access. I wonder if I can do that in dotNET? Appreciate
experience sharing.

Hi Peter,
I started out trying emulate an Access Continous Sub Form.

It could be achieved I think by build an array of controls (that is how I
would tackle it with VB)

But I decided to use a DataGrid. It doesn't give the same look as an Access
Continous Sub-Form but it is (tediously) much more flexible that Access List
Boxes and can give you the type of result that you are looking for.

Thanks. I have tried the DataGrid as you mentioned. But I cannot tie the
textbox withe the datagrid. It seems they are individual. I can add the
vertical scrollbar but the textboxes do not scroll.

Do you know if VS.Net 2005 has this feature?
