Interactive data grid for Microsoft LightSwitch

ComponentOne FlexGrid for LightSwitch includes a complete FlexGrid screen template you can use when adding a new screen to your project. This screen is similar to the LightSwitch editable grid screen, but it uses FlexGrid. It’s as simple as selecting it and choosing a data source. Using FlexGrid, you will get a searchable, editable grid view. You can also easily replace instances of the built-in LightSwitch data grid with FlexGrid while preserving existing screen layout.

Features

• FlexGrid Screen Template - FlexGrid includes a screen template that includes a properly configured instance of the C1FlexGrid control extension.
• Edit Data in Spreadsheet or Form View - Users can choose to edit data directly in the grid or use the command bar to open detail dialogs to add or edit data.
• Data Paging - Optionally show large data sets page-by-page rather than in one, long scrollable grid.
• Search Engine - The FlexGrid screen template exposes the same search functionality found in the built-in LightSwitch data grid.
• Runtime Sorting and Filtering - Allow users to instantly sort and filter data with intuitive on-screen controls.
• Design-time Grouping - Specify grouped views in LightSwitch's property pane.
• Outline Buttons for Collapsing Groups - Create hierarchical views of your data with outline buttons that users can collapse and expand.
• True Excel Export for the Web - Users can export views to .xls, .csv, .html, or .txt files. This works for both desktop and Web deployments.
• Conditional Formatting - Set formatting for cells that exceed a high or low value in any given column. This is commonly used to indicate values that need attention.
• Cell Merging - FlexGrid enables cell merging at the grid and column levels.
• Persistent User Views - Optionally restore the last view configured by the end-user before closing the application. This includes sorting and filtering operations as well as column sizing and reordering.
• Excel-like Filtering - Allow your end-users to filter the grid view using convenient check boxes or by specifying conditional expressions.
• Tooltips for Validation Errors - When modified field data is invalid, FlexGrid automatically shows a tooltip that explains what the error is.
• Printing Support - Print professional quality reports with the click of a button.
• Localized Interfaces - Deploy your application in 20 different languages without worrying about localization. Just set the Culture property in your LightSwitch project and FlexGrid will show the proper strings. Included languages: Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (United States), Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish.
• Cell Range Selection and Clipboard Support - Select multiple cells by clicking and dragging or shift-clicking. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C to copy the selection to the clipboard.
• Point-and-click Styling - Use convenient property pickers in LightSwitch to customize the appearance of rows, columns, headers and grid lines.
