Could someone please tell me how I'd create the same datagrid functionality
(bind,add/edit/delete) from an asp.net page into a Windows form using the
DataGridView control? I am able to bind the control in the windows form but
not able to get add/edit/delete functionality working? Also need drop
downs, etc. in the grid. Event handlers? Buttons for each task? I'd
certainly appreciate any feedback?

What are you trying to do? You can do a datagrid with ASP.NET. You
can do it with Forms / WPF. You can do it with Silverlight. I've
done it with all three. So is that your problem? Just check out any
decent textbook, for example by MacDonald.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just finding it extremely difficult to create the
same datagrid on a windows form as I do on an asp.net page. On an asp.net
page I'm able to explicitly define the columns and controls within the
column, etc. but not so in a windows form. When editing the asp.net page
datagrid (via click of an edit button) I can set the control types and bind
them based on existing record in sql table, etc, but not so in a windows
form. Can you point me to a good reference for accomplishing these tasks?

Would you happen to have a sample project or code illustrating a
datagridview with dropdownlists, textboxes, etc. in the datagridview and
add/edit/delete fruntionality?

I use the book by Karli Watson, "Beginning C#2005 Databases". This is
the best book for Forms. It's out of print but buy it anyway--worth
it*. But you know it's been a while since I used forms--I've since
moved onto WPF, which is superior since you can define the columns
more like ASP.NET, like you say.

I recall (from memory) the trick was to click on the upper right
corner of the box that defines the drag-and-drop for the datagrid--you
get a bunch of properties here.

It's all explained in Watson's book.
