Updates in this release

Updates in v2011 vol 1

• Multi-Row Headers (Bands) - This release includes support for multi-row headers - allowing you to organize grid columns across logical groups (bands). The newly introduced band column type does not allow you to display data values within it. Its purpose is to organize columns (children) within its column collection. This allows you to easily maintain a hierarchy of nested bands. The flexible design of the DevExpress ASP.NET Grid allows you to place a data column and a band column at the same hierarchy level. Bands can be dragged by end-users to re-order individual columns. This is extremely useful if you need to provide a quick way to re-arrange columns while preserving their logical grouping. All existing grid functionality (such as export, scrolling, column freezing and resizing, etc.) is unaffected by the introduction of multi-row headers/bands.
• Export Performance Boost - With this release, DevExpress have significantly improved export performance. You will see improvements of up to 20 times compared to previous versions. Note that the more rows there are in a grid, the greater performance boost you will get.
