From what I understood from your other threads and this one, if you want to find the same easiness as in MSAccess, the only alternative you have today is the DevExpress XtraGrid in conjunction with XPO, used in server mode for big tables, and normal mode for small tables.
As I said, all what you need to do with the DevExpress Grid is bind your collection to the grid, set a few of its properties, and you are set. No SQL (no select, no insert, no update, no delete), and no code, no generated code, no dataset, you use real object collections.
With this, the user can edit directly in the grid with very nice editors (here I mean nicer ones).
The infragistic grid cannot do it, it does not know anything about Object Relational Maping and knows even less from Server mode.
I guess, if you are bound to a given control reseller, you won't be able to swap easilly for another one. I did it once (to be more precise, from infragistic to DevExpress) and it went very well for me.
