datagrid

Having spent a couple of days wrestling with DataGrid in .NET CF, especially controlling the look and feel, I'm looking for alternatives. I don't mind purchasing a solution.

I'm looking for

Redistributable to our enterprise customers. We control the hardware so it doesn't have to work perfectly on every device.
Display strings and numbers in columns with headings.
Scrollable, but no paging. Don't row editing. Need to add and delete rows.
User re-sizable column widths, and a way to persist that.
Work with .NET CF 2.0 or 3.5 on Windows CE 6.0

Any suggestions on grids or toolkits?
