displaying data in a neat presentable format ?

[chennaiprogrammer]

What are the options that I can use to display data using c# ?

Suppose we need to display data in rows and columns and I need to have individual control over the colors and etc used for each and every single cell of data what I should use ?

Should I use datagrid ? if os is it fully customizable ?

what are my options ?

C# DataGrid is pretty customizable and you can use the TableStyles and ColumStyles feature to customize the DataGrid but you have to be patient as it took me a few goes to get the design right.

Also the DataGrid has some default templates that look good (i.e. coloured headers, rows etc).

A commercial option is to use Developer Express XtraGrid suite. I have used their products on Delphi and I believe you can't get anything as good right now - the quality of their components is extremely high. If your looking for a professional office like grid suite then they are the ones to check out.
