What control for displaying tabular data with a picture

Roland

I need to develop a simple auction application (yes, in WinForms...) and I've been wondering what control should I use for representing the items? I need to have a picture in the first column. A title and short description in the second column (the name should be highlighted somehow) And some additional columns (number of bids, current price, time left...) Any suggestions?

Friend,

you can not show more than one type of formatting like some text colored and some not like look in single cell

For building this kind of DatagridView you need to Program your own DataGridView

.

In this Case WPF Application can be helpful to you as it Allow Nesting of Controls :)

You can try the IntegralUI ListView control from Lidor Systems. It allows you to insert any custom control and create custom layouts in columns, items and subitems. For example: one subitem can have image, text and a button control, while the next subitem in the same column can have text only.
This control gives you freedom in presentation of your data by arranging different objects in custom layouts. You can insert text, image, checkbox, hyperlinks and any custom controls in single item or subitem space.

Is it also possible to have text in a cell with different colors? (or bold, italic basically sth to highlight the name of the item from the description) It is important because I dont want to have the description in a different column.

A DataGridView should work fine. You can use a variety of controls for each column. You can even write a UserControl for a column if you need a customized control. I suggest you try some of the Data Walkthroughs to get familiar with what is available. You don't need to do the walkthroughs in any order; do the ones that are useful for you in any order you want to.
