Data Repeater Control Screenshot (New in VB Power Packs 3.0)

The Visual Basic Team - New Data Repeater Control in Latest Power Packs Release! (Beth Massi)

"...

This version includes a new Data Repeater control that enables you to use standard Windows Forms controls to display rows of your data in a scrollable container, giving you more flexibility and customization than standard grid controls.

Here’s a quick example of how you can use the Data Repeater control to create a very custom looking Windows Form to display your data. This example is using two Data Repeater controls, one with the default vertical layout display data for today’s forecast and another one using the horizontal layout to display the five day forecast.

You can also check out the Channel 9 screen-cast that I recorded with John Hart from the QA team which demonstrates how to use this new control.

Nice. I was looking for an example or screenshot of this control... (being to lazy to create my own ;)

As more is added to it, it would be nice if the installer for the VB Power Packs included some samples (as an option during install).
