>In VB.Net during design time, when I place the DataGrid on the form, I don't see any way to tell it how many columns, what field they correspond to, how wide the column should default to, or any formatting information for the columns... (are you familar with Visual FoxPro?)... Am I missing something or is the VB.Net DataGrid that different from the Visual FoxPro DataGrid (which is what I'm used to)?
