Actually, there is not any specific limitation in my application. Please let
me explaing my intention.

 There is a one file that contains formated rows of data pertaining
parameters. The number of rows will not be fixed. Let's assume there are 1000
parameters in that file.
  I am communicating with another computer via TCP/IP. Both computers have
the same file. My computer is client and other is server. Server generate
values for 1000 parameters and sends them to the client periodically.
  At the client side, I want to display all recevied values for parameters
as quick as possible. I thought that having a Paging style display would be
user-friendly to observe the data. Due to having hundreds of parameters, I
want to display them page by page. But other solutions are acceptable.
  My constraints are simple:
  1) Be Fast,
  2) Show All,
  3) Enable dummies to understand immediately, how to observe other
parameters, that are not on that page...

  For every parameters, I have to show the followings on the form:

   Parameter_Name Parameter_Current_Value Parameter_Unit

 That's all...

 Can you explain me how to use DataGrid to display values Almost-Real-Time
in the cells and How to show them similar to Page by Page type, please?

 My Best Regards...
