I don't think the memory load will be as bad as you imagine. I plan to give the user a pick-list of which columns they want to see in the table. In practice, they will rarely choose more than a handful. Likewise, there are rarely more than a few dozen rows. So total memory footprint is <o>200Kbytes.
For now I'll just use a GridView and continue to think about my options. IMHO, this is a pretty glaring omission from the GridView functionality, since 9 times out of 10 people need to understand their orientation in the grid - what rows and columns they are viewing.
