I'd like to do something along the lines of:

http://www.tedit.net/sampleviewer/srcview.aspx?path=masterdetail.src&file=MasterDetailSample.aspx

...where when you click the "Edit" command button, the datagrid expands vertically.

Any book suggestions on how to create custom datagrid controls in VB? I don't mind if it takes me a month or so to figure it out!

Thanks!

The ASP.Net Unleashed book has some samples in there for creating very special custom controls. Needless to say it's not easy, but it can be done by mortals.

I just looked at that sample. You may be able to override stuff in the existing datagrid to do that. Generally though, it's cheaper to buy one that's already done.
