>Do I have to resort to purchasing a 3rd party grid control if I want to enable users to add/edit/delete data directly on the grid? It seems non of the supplied grids (i.e. Grid control, MSFlexGrid, MSHFlexGrid, etc.) will enable users to interactively add/edit/delete data (rows) at runtime.

This is true that flex grid are not directly editable. You could always put a textbox over the current cell, allow the input and change your flexgrid but this can be a lot of work.

DataGrid is editable. Your recordset must be updatable and the Allow... of the datagrid must be set to true.

I don't like grids for other purpose than displaying (or very simple user interaction).

The kind of interface I normally consist of a grid at the top of the screen and other controls (text box, combo, check box, ...) at the bottom. This way, I consider having more flexibilities in having the user input data.
