How to design a high performance grid with VS 2005(specifically C#)
<p>I need to build a high performance winforms data grid using Visual Studio 2005, and I'm at a loss with where to start. I've build plenty of data grid applications, but none of those were very good when the data was constantly refreshing.</p>

<p>The grid is going to be roughly 100 rows by 40 columns, and each cell in the grid is going to update between 1 and 2 times a second(some cells possibly more). To me, this is the biggest drawback of the out of the box data grid, the repainting isn't very efficient.</p>

<p>Couple caveats</p>

<p>1) No third party vendors. This grid is backbone of all our applications, so while XCeed or Syncfusion or whatever might get us up and running faster, we'd slam into its limitations and be hosed. I'd rather put in the extra work up front, and have a grid that does exactly what we need.</p>

<p>2) I have access to Visual Studio 2008, so if it would be much better to start this in 2008, then I can do that. If its a tossup, I'd like to stick with 2005.</p>

<p>So whats the best approach here?</p>
