We are looking for a 3rd party grid/view control. We have been using FlexGrid from ComponentOne for VB6 and now for .NET we are revisiting the issue.

What grid control are you using and how well do you like it?

Thanks

We use the Component one TrueDBGrid. The flexi grid was a little more than we needed, and we found it a little slow to populate.

We subclassed the grid, and added custom methods for assigning data source, data columns required, and correspondingly the column widths, format, and alignment.

If you're used to Flexigrid, and you're not loading too much data into it, I'd personally stick with what you're used to.

The native DataGrid quite frankly sucks in my humble opinion.

...if it works dont mess with it
 
Although not into .NET yet, we also use ComponentOne grid. It has some neat features including a report print/preview option which is handy for printing grid contents in similar way to Crystal but without any real design hassle.

I also think DataGrid is lacking - certainly in VB6.
