List for WinForms provides a rich set of properties, methods, and events that enable you to develop sophisticated database applications. The organization imposed by List for WinForms' object model makes it easier to work with such a large feature set.
Objects and collections that refer to visual entities, such as columns, can be customized in the designer or in code. Objects and collections that refer to abstract entities, such as arrays and bookmarks, are only available in code.
