Draw a table in windows form

Question

I wanted to draw a table in my windows form with various controls embedded in it like textbox dropdown list etc. I basically wanted to get data from the user at runtime and process it in the front end before uploading it into the database. I tried using a datagrid but did not succeed as it requires a database table tied to be tied to the datagrid at the design time and I don't want to do that. Is there any other way to work around this problem?

DataGrid not required datatable to bind at design time. In such cases objects inside datagrid aren't created - are invisible. You can use DesignMode property to add a dummy datatable with datarow(s). True difficulty is in another place: how to add controls into DataGrid. Standard controls are: TextBox and CheckBox column styles. You can try to create - or find - UserControl.
