• Unbound Columns - In addition to displaying data from an underlying data source, the GridTree control can display data that is not in an underlying data source via unbound columns. Unbound columns can be used to display expressions that involve manipulating data across columns. These allow custom calculations such as salary and tax calculations. Users can sort unbound columns just like bound columns.
• Excel-like Filters - With this feature, users can sort, search, resize, and perform advanced filtering of grid data exactly as it is done in Microsoft Excel.

• Merging cells - You can merge adjacent cells in a grid and still perform sorting and grouping on columns containing merged cells. All the support you find in a normal cell can be found in merged cells, giving you better control over the layout of information in a grid.
• Data Table Support - Essential Grid supports data tables in two modes: server and JSON. Both modes allow sorting, grouping, and all the other basic functions you would expect in a grid, but with JSON mode, data rendering occurs on the client side, greatly improving grid performance.

• JSON Suppot in ASP.NET - The AJAX Grid control allows you to increase grid performance. It has two modes: server and JSON. The JSON mode can be enabled to handle paging, sorting, grouping and filtering.
• Editing via Unbound Columns in ASP.NET MVC - Editing via unbound columns allows you to make changes to multiple fields in a grid at the same time.
