>>Part 2: Certainly this 'extra' field can be used to handle 'selected' rows, but have you tried working with a list instead of a view. If you aren't editing on the grid, the list has all of the multi-select options you need, and you can write code for handling selected items.

The reason i'm trying to shoehorn my own grid select behavior into the grid is because the user needs to be able to sort this list and also rearrange and resize columns. All of the examples of the List that I've seen have been static representations of the data (no way to swap columns). Is there a way to incorporate multiple columns into a list that I have missed (I have limited experience with them)...

Dave, lists ARE static - you can make programmatic changes but not user drag/resize actions. I have a couple that are re-sorted - I do it by re-SELECTing the list table with a different sort order. However, this won't help your column moving/resizing problems. I guess your grid IS the right way.

Sorry not to help more,
