APNSoft DataGrid 2.5 is available for download!

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:31:03 GMT

APNSoft is pleased to announce the release of APNSoft DataGrid 2.5!

APNSoft DataGrid is an ASP.NET server control with AJAX support to display data in a tabular format with options of choice, sorting and editing entries. DataGrid component has been designed in a way to reduce development time at the utmost and require no specific knowledge from developers.

---------------------------------------------
New features:
---------------------------------------------

Support for different data sources.
The first step in programming a DataGrid is to set up its DataSource property. APNSoft DataGrid now supports different data sources: DataView, DataTable, DataSet, DataReader and any object that implements IEnumerable interface.

Cell editing.
APNSoft DataGrid is now enriched with new useful feature. It allows the user to modify a record right in the DataGrid area. When cell is clicked, it is transformed into Input Box populated with the cell value. The user can then edit this value. This sort of editing is also known as Inline editing.

ASCX template (User Control) for a Column.
APNSoft DataGrid displays each item in the column in accordance with a specified template. You can now use ASCX templates to organize and format column data by using your preferred programming language C# or VB.NET. The DataGrid component automatically identifies the type of applicable template (ASCX, XSL or HTML).

Custom Buttons on the Bottom Bar.
Now you can extend Bottom Bar with custom buttons, which make DataGrid more relevant to users. Each custom button is defined by a single XML node in the XML template applied to Bottom Bar and one or two icon files, which are all stored in the Grid's Skin Folder.

New client-side methods
- dg.Refresh(GridID); - refreshes the content of the DataGrid.
- dg.SetPage(GridID, PageNumber); - sets the grid page number to be shown.
- dg.ScrollToTop(GridID); - scrolls the contents of the grid to the top position.
- dg.ScrollToLeft(GridID); - scrolls the contents of the grid to the left position.

APNSoft is pleased to announce the release of APNSoft DataGrid 2.0!

---------------------------------------------
New features:
---------------------------------------------

Running Mode
APNSoft DataGrid now supports different running modes: CallBack and PostBack. Running mode controls how DataGrid handles sorting and paging. Use the Mode property to specify the running mode of the DataGrid. If the Mode property value is CallBack, paging and sorting are performed through AJAX-style HTTP callbacks. If the Mode property value is PostBack, each action initiates an ASP.NET postback and triggers the appropriate server-side event.
ASP.NET AJAX compatibility
By default, any postback control inside an UpdatePanel control causes an asynchronous postback and refreshes the panel's content. As the DataGrid now supports PostBack running mode, component can be placed inside an UpdatePanel control. Server side events for paging and sorting must be specified as asynchronous triggers.
Support for Context Menu
APNSoft DataGrid now provides you with full support for cross-browser context menu. You can use context menu for rows or column headers.
Export to HTML
APNSoft DataGrid can now export the data to HTML by using the new button with 'HTML' icon on the Bottom Bar. The property Exportable specifies the value indicating whether the column data will be exported to HTML or not.
Visible/invisible Bottom Bar
You can now make the Bottom Bar invisible by using the new property BottomBar.Visible.
Updated Skins
Each Skin now includes new images and CSS classes required for Context Menu and export to HTML.
New server-side methods
- ResetColumnWidths - sets all columns at an equal percent fraction of the DataGrid width.
- ResetPageNumber - sets a Page Number to its default value (1).
- ResetSelectedRow - removes the 'Selected' attribute from the row.
- ResetSortedColumn - removes the 'Sorted' attribute from the column.
New client-side methods
- dg.Sort(GridID, ColumnIndex, Direction) - sorts the data in the DataGrid.
Fixed bugs
- Fixed a bug that cause the "The HTTP verb POST used to access path '/' is not allowed." message.
- Fixed a bug that causes the "Invalid postback or callback argument." message.
- The behavior of scrollbars is fixed when the AutoResize property is defined.
- Position of the Edit Form is fixed if the DataGrid is placed in the DIV with absolute position.
- Several minor bugs fixed.
