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. All the ado.net stuff I see seems to be stuck in 2-tier land
(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.
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!!
