Can I ask what everyone is doing regarding data grids? The examples in the tech database seem old and out dated; referring to Visual Basic components or grids that are no longer available - or worse are now charging $1800 for the privilege. I am currently formatting listboxes - carefully - as I'm not a fan of reportview.

I have used iGrid from 10tec.com for many years.   You cannot bind it to a datasource but other than that it has worked very well for me.   As you mentioned, cost was a big factor in me giving it a try as it was MUCH cheaper than the others I found but turned out it was just what I needed.

The fact that you have issues with reportview begs the question of what you want a 'grid' to do. For display to user with sorting and filtering capabilities - Powershell has a simple out-Gridview that enables a .NET grid display from a dataset (and is easily called from WB). You can also use the CLR capabilities of WB to design a C# .net grid, but it involves a lot more coding.
