I have a datagrid with 4 columns bound and one 'Quantity' textbox
column. Is there some way to bind the text in the textbox column to a
property of the "items" in my datagrid (I have a separate item class
that represents one item)?  I have tried setting the text of the

I have a user control that I am using within a datagrid to display many
instances of this control w/ paging.

Bit new to the datagrid -- any ideas on how I would display only
certain records from a dataset after or before binding in a grid?  I

I see many posts on this topic but still can't find a solution that
