A few months ago I purchased Infragistics Net Advantage 2003 Volume 2 suite.

The entire suite is $495 and it contains a ton of controls - for webforms, winforms and also a number of their COM ActiveX controls. I've just started using the .NET Grid and so far so good. They also have a number of list and masked input contols which come in handy.

>After a year of trying to make the native datagrid do everything that the VFP data grid can do, I'm ready to chuck it and buy a good third party grid. Things like dynamically setting column attributes [font, color, etc.] based on data values just requires too much code and performs very slowly.
