Imitating outlook scheduler using winform

Question

what is the best way to mimic the scheduler screen of the outlook 2003. Currently I'm using DataGridView with customized DataGridViewCell and DataGridViewColumn as sugeested in msdn. I think DataGridView is heavy. Is there a better approach which is light weight and less CPU consuming to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Most everything in Outlook is VERY complex, so if you are looking to get really close, I would look at third-party controls for Windows Forms (Infragistics, Telerik, ComponentSource to name a few sites).

If you're just looking for concept on the UI, check out this sample...
