Introduction

This is a simple C# grid control. The control provides a way to display and edit string�s collection. When your program wants to get input from user, generally, you can put EditBox control on your form. But when you need to get a set of dates, the EditBox control is not the best choice. Do we have another choice? Try this, maybe it is appropriate for you.

The control features

  • In-place edit
  • Insert rows and columns
  • Cell copy and paste
  • Line copy and paste
  • Multi-line copy and paste
  • Mark a line
  • Display multi-line in a cell
  • Changing column width with mouse at runtime
  • VS.NET IDE integration

How to use?

Simply add the control to you VS.NET Toolbox, then you can drop it to your form. That�s all, no other. Once you create an instance of this control in your form, you can add columns in IDE environment or dynamically add columns at run-time.
