Ok... I have the need now to finally dip into the world of databases and have no experience what-so-ever in them.

In the app I am working on I need to have a control that works like the Properties window in the VS IDE. On the surface this looks like a simple DataGrid but in operation it seems to work alot different. Anyone know what control they are using or one that works like that one? To be specific I need one that will let me have the drop-down list for some properties and the buttons (a la Collections) in some. I also need the collapsable properties with the plus/minus sign... but without the sub items looking like hyperlinks.

I have looked over the DataGrid control because that seems closest to what I need but it just doesnt seem to have any settings for these things so I would assume that I am barking up the wrong tree.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
The PropertyGrid control in the IDE is part of the framework and easy to use in your own applications. Go to Customize Toolbar, click on the .NET tab and it will be in the list for you to check. I dont know why it isnt checked by default, but it isnt.
