displaying tables

[eredleaf]

I am a new user of vb.net and all I want to do is display a simple 2 dimensional array of numbers on a form in a scrollable table. 2 columns by 60,000 rows. I tried putting a grid control on the from, but I cannot figure out how to load it. Then I tried declaring a datatable, but even that seems like overkill for such a simple structure. Is there an easy way to do this? I could use a code snippit to get started. Thanks for your help.

I wrote a little stupid function that adds it to a listview.... remember that both dementions of the array must have equal lengths, otherwise it causes an error (bad coding!!!)

' Gets a 2D array of integers
    Private Sub ArrayToLvw(ByRef arr As Integer(,), ByRef lvw As ListView)
        lvw.Columns.Clear()
        lvw.View = View.Details
        lvw.Columns.Add("Column1", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
        lvw.Columns.Add("Column2", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
        lvw.Items.Clear()
 
 
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim li As ListViewItem
 
        For i = 0 To arr.GetUpperBound(0)
            li = lvw.Items.Add(arr(i, 0).ToString)
            li.SubItems.Add(arr(i, 1).ToString)
        Next
    End Sub

I've been doing something pretty much the same with ListViews as what Mr.Polite shows.
