• OLAP: You can now expand and collapse all subtotals.​​​

Updates in MVC Edition

• FlexGrid
  • DetailRow: Adding a row details section enables you to group some data in a template that is optionally visible or collapsed. For example, you can add row details to a FlexGrid that presents only a summary of the data for each row, but presents more data when the user selects a row.
  • DataMap: Data maps provide the grid with automatic look up capabilities. For example, you may want to display a customer name instead of ID, or a colour name instead of its RGB value. FlexGrid Columns with an associated dataMap show drop-down buttons that can be used for quick editing.
• NEW CONTROLS
  • PopUp Control: The new PopUp control shows arbitrary elements as popups\popovers\dialog. Popovers are the popups which have owner elements to control their visibility, and are placed relative to these owner elements when they appear on the screen. Whereas, dialogs are the popups with no owner elements, and they appear towards the center of the screen distinguished from the rest of the content on the screen.
  • MultiSelect Control: The Multi-select control enables you to add drop-down list with multiple selection in your application. The control has a fully customizable header, which shows up to two items selected and item count beyond that. You can control the maximum number of items to display, the message displayed when no items are selected, and the format string to show the item count. MultiSelect control can be bound to any collection(array\list etc).

ASP.NET 5 Beta7 Support: When Microsoft releases Beta7, you'll be able to make a smooth transition.
