The GridData control offers unmatched performance and versatility. Its advanced feature set is exposed through a powerful yet easy-to-use API with countless customization options. Data-bind to any data source; format the data with a rich selection of cell types; and enable editing, sorting, filtering, and grouping within a few minutes. The cell-oriented Grid control is an efficient display engine for tabular data that can be customized down to the cell level. It does not make any assumptions about the structure of the data. It can be used in a virtual manner with data provided on demand in real time, or it can be used in a manner where the Grid control maintains the data within its own internal structures. The GridTree control is a grid that displays self-referencing lists in a multicolumn tree format. The data is loaded on demand so that large lists can be quickly displayed. Support for a classic tree look is provided, but you can also customize the look of the tree with special glyphs and icons. Exceptional performance is possible - thousands of nodes can be expanded or collapsed instantaneously.

Benefits of working with Syncfusion:

• Straightforward Licensing - Syncfusion offers simple per-user licensing, with no runtimes, royalties or server deployment fees.
• Rich Feature Set - Syncfusion works hard to provide functionality beyond what other competing solutions offer. For example, many data grids offer support for exporting to Microsoft Excel, but in reality just export to HTML and rename the file with an .XLS extension, causing many problems for the end user, such as displaying security alerts and incorrect formatting. In comparison, the Syncfusion DataGrid control contains over 100,000 lines of code to provide accurate exporting to Excel. All components in the toolkit solve real problems; Syncfusion never include controls just to increase the total count. Every component has been built as a solution to an issue that developers face when creating enterprise applications.
• Real-world Samples - One of the ways Syncfusion ensure that their components are enterprise-ready is by building several proof-of-concept samples for line-of-business applications, which ship with the SDK. Most of the samples push the control to its limit, so you can truly evaluate whether it meets your requirements now and in the future.
• Support - Each Syncfusion license comes with 1 year of technical support and updates. Support is available through the sophisticated Direct-Trac support system, built from the ground up to support enterprise customers and their needs in a streamlined manner. Support incidents can be created and tracked to completion 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Access to phone support is also included with each license’s subscription.
