OVERVIEW

.NET technology

Written entirely in managed C# code (source code included in the Blueprint Edition)

Object-oriented design created exclusively for the .NET framework offers a fresh and modern approach to grid programming, not an ActiveX interface ported to .NET

Supports Microsoft Active Accessibility 2.0 (new in Grid v2.1)

Comprehensive documentation fully integrated into Visual Studio .NET

All error handling works through .NET exception classes

CLS compliant (Common Language Specification)

Does not use unsafe blocks for minimal permission requirements

Fast loading object with efficient memory usage

Optimized drawing code for fast display, scrolling and resizing

Includes plenty of VB.NET and C# samples

Innovations

Reporting engine built right into the grid. End-users can generate, modify and print reports from their Grid-enabled applications. Developers can add this functionality in just minutes. (new in v3.0)

Xceed Grid for .NET is used by Microsoft in MS Small Business Accounting 2006.

Compatible with Xceed Editors for .NET (new in v2.5)

Full XP look & feel including XP themes that can automatically adjust to the user's current theme and that can even work on non-XP systems (new in v2.0)

Sharp looking Hierarchical Master/Detail view that is so flexible the grid can be used as a bound or unbound TreeView control with limitless levels and sub-items (new in v2.0)

True design-time WYSIWYG editor in a grid component. You can truly configure your grid right on the form without a configuration dialog or wizard. Set up your headers & footers, columns, grouping, master/detail views, insertion rows, styles etc. quicker and faster than other grids (improved in v2.0)

Exclusive ability to assign any Windows Forms control as a cell editor or cell viewer. Not limited only to custom controls created specifically for use in a grid. Use any VS.NET control or any of the wide variety of publicly available .NET controls

All of the grid's classes are inheritable and documented so developers can easily extend the grid's functionality as needed. Sample applications demonstrating how to extend the grid are included

Every visual element displayed by the grid is a distinct object that behaves like a separate control. Each element, including cells, rows, columns, groups, row selectors, header bars, etc. receives its own mouse, keyboard and paint events and can be replaced by custom objects

A variety of specialized row, cell and manager objects allow you to combine text and graphics anywhere on the grid for total control over the display

Offers two ways to perform custom painting of visual elements: add extra painting code to a grid element's paint event or inherit and override a visual element for complete control over the way it is drawn

The Grid Assistant: guides the developer through the basics of configuring and programming the grid right on the design-time form. It provides concise how-to descriptions to help developers get up to speed quickly without reading the manual

Reporting (All new in v3.0!)

Instant reports: Instantly provide your application's users with the power to print, preview and export customized reports right from Xceed Grid for .NET. Because they are built-in, Xceed Grid's reporting capabilities eliminate the need for you to acquire, learn and implement a separate reporting solution with your application.

Exporting: Export reports to PDF, HTML, Multi-page TIFF and JPEG.

Vector-based printing: Unlike the printing capabilities of other grids, which send the actual grid mostly in bitmap form to the printer, Xceed Grid for .NET's reporting engine generates a new layout and sends vector-based data to the printer. This results in professional-looking reports that scale to the printer's resolution instead of looking like someone used the "print screen" key.

Ready for end-users: With only a single line of code, developers can enable Xceed Grid for .NET's built-in, user-friendly "Generate Report" and "Customize Report Style" dialogs, allowing end-users to "skin" their reports before printing or exporting them, or to create their own customized report stylesheets.

Flexibility for end-users: End-users can configure the printed appearance of all report elements, select colors and fonts, add images, determine which data fields to print, define field widths, add lines, customize the report header and footer areas, and more.

Programmatic control: The grid's Report classes allow developers to programmatically generate, print, export and extensively customize reports to a level even deeper than what's available in the end-user forms.

Load/save as XML: Stylesheets can be loaded and saved as XML files, either programmatically or through the built-in end-user forms.

Custom headers/footers: Place images and text in page headers and/or footers, with macros for page number, report title, and a variety of date and time formats.

Column formatting: Choice of either multi-line layout or squeeze layout when there are too many fields to fit on a page. Multi-line layout wraps a row's cells over two or more lines, and squeeze layout vertically stretches cells, wrapping only their contents.

Page spanning: If there are too many fields to fit on one page, the fields can span two or more pages.

Summary row: New extensible summary row object for the grid includes 14 types of built-in statistical functions such as sum, running sum, count and average. This row can be placed at the bottom of each page, at the bottom of each groups, at the top, or anywhere that makes sense for your report.

Repeat on each page: Any row can be repeated on each page, such as column header rows, group header rows and summary rows.

Keep together: Ability to prevent splitting groups over two pages if possible.

Insert page breaks: Insert a page break before and/or after any row or group.

Grid lines: Add horizontal line types below or above any row, header, group or summary cell.

Print selected fields: Select which fields are printed in reports and specify their widths.

Customizable forms: The source code and instructions for customizing the end-user forms is included, allowing developers to customize the forms to match their application's look and feel.

True WYSIWYG design-time editor

Completely set up the grid's visual elements and configure their appearance directly on your form without the use of a separate wizard or custom property editor - just click on an element to view and edit its properties in the property editor.

Multi-select grid elements to view and edit their common properties

Add, copy and delete grid elements as needed

Undo operations

Drag & drop repositioning of grid elements

Resize, rearrange and sort columns, resize rows

Create, edit, delete, expand and collapse groups

Same programming model whether you deal with bound or unbound data

Can now be bound directly to an array of simple types such as String, Decimal, DateTime, TimeSpan, Guid or Primitive (e.g., SByte, Byte, Int32, etc.) and will show the value of those types in one column (new in v2.5)

Automatically obtains and synchronizes bound data from any .NET source including Jagged Arrays, any object that implements IListSource or IList and any ADO.NET DataSet, DataTable, DataView or DataViewManager object
