    Remarks

    When setting properties that modify the contents of a grid element, for example the Font or ForeColor properties, it is important to remember that if the grid element is a cell, then only the cell will be modified. If the grid element is a row or column, then all the cells in the row or column will be modified.

    The GridElement class implements the System.ComponentModel.IComponent interface which derives from the System.IDisposable interface. This was necessary in order for each grid element to be a component in the Grid Designer and thus individually selectable. It is not necessary however to call the System.IDisposable.Dispose method on the GridElement class nor on any class that derives from the GridElement class.

    When creating a class that derives from GridElement (or any of its derived classes), code should not be placed within the System.IDisposable.Dispose method since Dispose will not be called.
