Can any one help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx in advantage....

AFAIK string grid is a grid where all cells represent a string or text -
something like DataGrid but less powerful.
I think he might use DataGrid instead.
Tony Drake said:LOL
As a delphi programmer moving to C#, the string grid, and such 'super'
grids appear a lot more powerful then the datagrid.
See the following two sites:
http://www.delphi-gems.com/VirtualTreeview/VT.php
http://www.tmssoftware.com/advgrid2.htm
Both brilliant, and one free!!!! (he's thinking of porting it to c#).
It's hard to put my finger on it, but in delphi land, we moved away
from tying data to forms years ago, and moved to more 'abstract'
methods.
(I might have not read the right books/web sites)
I'm very new the C# (< month and loving it), but the general level of
components avaliable seem very basic. The type of thing we could do
with the stringgrid family of components are things such as a 'mixed
tree/grid' - banding, merged cells, owner draw etc etc see very hand,
or not supported in most grid examples. I might not know how to use
the datagrid, but the propeties are not there,
I just love how people assume 'their' language is the best, with the
best features etc etc.
Indeed.
Oh, and by the way I've moved to C# not because delphi cannot do
everything I need, it because of perceptions like this, and one has to
eat, so we delphi guys can't fight it anymore.
Looking foward to finding out how to handle non-data bound
unstructured strings using a mix tree/grid in one 'grid'..... ;-)
Oh and do remember the guy who architected delphi was the atchitect of
C# - C# is like Delphi with a 'C++/Java' syntax to me!!
Touch! You are right. The standard comp with delphi is poor, but asMiha Markic said:Hi Tony,
Is this a stringgrid provided with Delphi or a derived 3rd party component?
Any Ideas? I've got 'Deitel's C# A programmer introduction' which I'mGood for you.
All the ado.net stuff I see seems to be stuck in 2-tier land
Obviously you haven't.
I conceed, you are right the standard one doesn't do this.With stringgrid provided with Delphi?
seeYes, even delphi guys have to eat.
Really? That's really astonishing discovery. Does he know it?

finding really good, and C# Class Design handbook - while good a bit
light on detail. and a 'generic' ado.net book (at work tonight), which
is a bit '2-tier'.
Anything that's focusing on object persistance, or n'tier database on

Absoluetely, Anders Hejlsberg Chief C# Language Architect who also
architected the orginal Delphi in 1993 was poached by MS in the late
1998, and was put to work 'fixing J++, as did so. (remember the 'vb'
like j++... ), when MS killed that, he was asked to build a java
killer, and was on the team who but .net together and build the C#
language - which he admitted was based on the Delphi object strucutre.
Believe me, if C# is Delphi version 2 (or Delphi with the minor
mistakes fixed - eg better garbage collection) it all good and will
rock!!
BTW I've found more stuff on binding arraylist to grids (hopping it
will work with a hasharray etc, and have downloaded the trial
Devexpress grids...
