I am looking for help as to what control will do the following :-

1) Show a list of products.
2) Show a list of product derivatives. (expanding hopefully)
3) Show a thumbnail against the product, not the derivatives.

I initially though about the treeview, but can a datagrid show thumbnails? It is imperative that a thumbnail is shown.

I have the path stored in SQL2000 for all images.

Thx in advance

Hello,

I don't know if the data grid can show images or not; however, if you can't find a common control, you may be able to inherit and create your own control, or have a common image control, which changes when you select it.

Otherwise, you could use a treeview, I believe a node can have an icon to display.

Hi

Thx, for the reply and if you want to know I have found a very good grid control addon which is much more powerful that the standard one. It supports treeview columns and picture columns, which is exactly what I am looking for.

Hi

The control is called flexgrid and it is from a company called ComponentOne http://www.componentone.com

Microsoft are doing free component downloads and this control is included goto http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/

Hi,

If you are looking for 3rd party grid control in order to display hierarchical grid, you can have a look at WebGrid from Intersoftpt website : http://www.intersoftpt.com. Try to download the free trial and check whether it suits your scenario.
