Merge Edit and Delete columns in one Column in Windows Forms using VS2010 , C# Code

[EDN Admin]

I have one Edit column and another Delete column in a Windows DataGridView which I am binding programatically .. Say I have one column " Edit " and another " Delete " , which both are bound to "ID" .. Now I want to merge these both columns as " Edit/Delete"
where there will be Links for " Edit " and "Delete " .. but as per VS Studio 2010s TableLayoutPanel property of C# windows forms property , I can not have two controls in one Cell .. How to achieve this scenario using C# Windows Forms code
