Data Grid control in VB.NET

[dindop]

I am looking for a DataGrid like control in VB.NET which does not require one to link to a database if one wants to populate it. That is, this control allows one to enter data for each cell (column and row) from an ini file, for example.

Can someone help?

wht don't you just use a form and make it look like a grid or something like that. A datagrid is exactly that.... DATA.

I intend to use the grid table as a means of providing a collection of labels and text boxes (in rows and columns) to generate inputs for a particular subject (Table title). A Grid control where entries are initially loaded from an ini file and subsiquently edited by a user is an elegant and a compact way for this representation.

There used to be just such a control, but for VB5; I believe it was called an msflexgrid. I am surprised no one has came up with such an implementation for VB.Net.

The datagrid control is perfectly capable of doing what you want...

what do you have so far????????

I miss read your first post but it sounds like you are trying to populate your grid from a text file correct?
I beleive you can use Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 as your provider.

but again, you need to post what you have so far. no one wants to write code for you.
