Flexgrid solution

[Tengkorak]

Hi..

In Visual basic 6 I often use Flexgrid component, I see that in VB.NET these components are not available. Component should I use instead of Flexgrid. What do I need to call Flexgrid componet (VB6 Version) into the project. NET from COM.

VS.Net provides more advanced components in place of the FlexGrid, such as the DataGrid. Why not use them?

I think that the datagrid on. NET datagrid are almost the same as VB6.
Because I want to enter the data without being connected to the database and as far as I know all that there on components are FlexGrid.

Flexgrid I usually use to input data on the purchase of goods. be a code of goods, name and amount of goods.

What do you think if you use flexgrid from VB6 to. NET?

Not advised. The biggest problem is it is a COM component, so you will likely have issues with performance, deployment and possibly memory management. Second problem is once you start working with the DotNet grid, you will want to throw away the FlexGrid.

Check out the various data binding samples on the internet or on this forum itself (tutorials/codebanks). What you are trying to achieve can be done by using an empty dataset connected to the grid. Every time you want to enter data, you add a row to the grid and enter your data in it. The dataset need not be bound to a database.
