Any recommendations for third-party grid components ?

Can anyone suggest any good sets of third party (data)grid components for Visual Studio C# .NET environment.
We're looking at integrating some grids (with additional extras) into a new project we're starting on shortly - so we're in the process of starting to review those that are available.

Any pointers would be appreciated
Similarly if anyone can suggest any we should be steering clear of again this would be useful.

Thanks to all in advanced

The issue we're trying to work around with the standard dataGrid component may well be one that is solvable without the need for other third party components.
We have a problem where we quite often make use of DataView's as the DataSource for the dataGrid's.
We're in a position whereby we want the user to be able to move through the rows in the grid and reflect the change each time we move into a new row (through whatever means - be it via mouse, keyboard, etc.)
The hit test against the grid only gets us so far.
It doesn't seem that we're able to sort the issue out with cycling through the dataGrid when we're using the cursor keys for instance - we can't seem to sort out the code for keyup, etc. for reflecting a change in the row the highlight is currently on.
We've also tried using the 'Paint' event against the grid but it has some overhead that comes with it due to the nature of some of the forms.
We are looking for some component that will resolve issues like this - where a lot of further events like this are catered for ....
I hope that this makes sense to readers still with me ... ;)

Thanks again
Steve
