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!

---------------------------------------------
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.

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.

APNSoft is pleased to announce the release of APNSoft DataGrid 1.0!

---------------------------------------------
Features:
---------------------------------------------

"Smart" component
Our DataGrid component is a "Smart" one which loads data on demand, pages it, scrolls the list up to the selected entry, automatically displays scrollbars, saves its state after postback.

AJAX Support
Built-in AJAX support provides independence from additional components and frameworks.

Appearance
APNSoft DataGrid is very flexible in customization. Skin support allows professional appearance to be easily created; there are ready-to-use skins. The form for editing entries can be configured by developer independently.

Data formatting
Universal Multilanguage support allows formatting and displaying data in several languages simultaneously.

Processing speed
Operates perfectly with tables, containing tens of thousands entries, loads data on demand, automatically checks loaded data in order to avoid extra requests by using client-side caching.

Data check
Our component checks the state of data source and displays relevant data without reloading the page.

Flexible templates
Flexible structure of templates allows combining data from different fields, processing conditional formatting and creating calculated columns. By using templates you can create complete integrated solutions on the basis of single DataGrid component.

Intuitive model
APNSoft DataGrid represents an obvious, easily understandable model – a set of columns and rows, and a set of options for their interaction.
