Display Real-time Insights with Data Bound Grids

February 15, 2024
WinForms grids with bound data displays allow users to see updates to the underlying data immediately, reflecting the current state of information.

Grid controls with Bound Data Display provide a structured and efficient means of presenting and managing data in software applications. By binding the grid to a data source, such as a database or a collection of objects, developers can ensure real-time synchronization between the data and the grid, eliminating the need for manual updates. This seamless integration enhances data accuracy and consistency, allowing users to view, edit, and manipulate information in a centralized and organized format. The bound data display simplifies data management and enhances user productivity by providing a dynamic and responsive interface that reflects changes in the underlying data source.

Several .NET WinForms Grids support bound data display including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows you to display and manipulate data in a tabular format with support for various data binding options such as databases, collections, or custom data objects.
  • FlexGrid for WinForms (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) can bind to virtually any data source that implements the IEnumerable or DataCollection interface, including ADO.NET data sources.
  • TeeGrid for .NET by Steema Software, binds to various sources like DataTable, DataView, IList, IEnumerable, and custom objects.
  • Bunifu UI WinForms DataGrid View (part of Bunifu UI WinForms) binds to various data sources like DataTable, DataView, and custom collections and automatically generates columns based on data object properties.
