    In DataGridView .. is there a way to make it have a column type that facilitates entering or editting dates? For example you have ComboBoxColumn, Checkboxcolum .. image etc. How about one for dates? Preferably it would work like the DateTimePicker control with the pop up calendar.

    DataGridView is coming soon, I've seen an early draft. We've also got a whitepaper for building in specialized columns. As soon as these are available I'll post 'em - keep tuned!

    For the how to "enter" and "edit" dates, there's already a sample up on how to build a cell template in MSDN:

    There are some other free VS2005 user interface controls at the following location. They allow Office style applications to be built very quickly and easily. Best of all they can be used in commerical applications for free.
