>>I have found that if I create a "user control" with the grid, I can amend the user control class and that updates in the form. Is this an acceptable method of coding? don't quite understand the difference between a "User Control" and a straight forward class.

I think it can be a useful strategy at times. For example if you only surface specific properties of the grid you can prevent other programmers from changing certain aspects of the grid at design time.......
