Kevin already pointed you to the current set of docs so I will just  
respond to the question about the number of rows.

In order to optimize performance the data grid only draws data that  
can currently be seen on the screen. The naming of the column and row  
controls (i.e. Col 2 0003) is merely for distinction if you are  
looking at the controls and has no actual bearing on the number of  
rows that can be displayed. For example, I have a sample stack that  
quickly renders 50,000 records from a sqlite database without any  
problems.
