A nice tutorial on Design Patterns

Design Patterns in simple examples.

Speed up DataGridView C#

The DataGridView in C# 2005 is very slow for about 15000 records.
Fixes:

• AutoSizeColumnsMode = Fill;
• BorderStyle = None;
• CellBorderStyle = SingleVertical;
• ColumnHeaderBorderStyle = Single;
• ColumnHeaderHeightSizeMode = DisableResizing;
• EditMode = EditProgrammatically;
• EnableHeadersVisualStyles = False;
• ReadOnly = True;
• RowHeadersWidthSizeMode = DisableResizing;
• ShowCellTooTips = False;

These settings were tested in Visual Studio 2005, in which works very well. I haven't tested them in VS 2008, but I thing they work as well.
