Essentially, what I have here is 50 booth table row entrees (boot ID,
location, assigned company).
What I really would like here is the function of an "editable" datagrid
control (with dropdown list boxes of course) AND a "none grid" like display
(freely displayed/placed over a floor & booth diagram).
Is there anyway I can easily enjoy the best of both worlds? The efficiency
of handling datasets using a datagrid kind of control and the flexibility of
data display unrestricted to a column and row format.
