The Filter Rows feature in grids enables users to refine large datasets quickly with real-time filtering directly in the grid interface. It enhances productivity by reducing the need for manual searches, improves accuracy with precise filtering options, and streamlines workflows in .NET applications such as WinForms, WPF, and ASP.NET Core. By allowing users to filter data by text, numbers, dates, and boolean values, it simplifies data exploration and helps surface relevant information faster. This feature is especially useful in financial dashboards for transaction filtering, inventory management for quick product lookups, and CRM systems for refining customer records, making data handling more efficient and intuitive.

Several .NET grid controls offer filter row functionality including:

• DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) lets you refine large datasets effortlessly with built-in filter rows, enabling quick, customizable searches.
• FlexGrid for .NET MAUI (part of ComponentOne WinUI and MAUI Edition by MESCIUS) streamlines data exploration using filter rows, offering responsive, real-time filtering.
• Xceed DataGrid for WPF facilitates intuitive dataset refinement with interactive filter rows, improving accuracy and efficiency in complex WPF applications.
• Wisej.NET DataGridView (part of Wisej.NET) enables seamless data filtering with filter rows, providing dynamic search capabilities for fast, user-friendly web-based grid navigation.

Redgate Test Data Manager is a comprehensive software solution designed to streamline and automate test data management within database environments. It enables teams to provision realistic, production-like data while masking sensitive information to maintain compliance with data privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. With data masking, synthetic data generation, and efficient provisioning, it creates reliable test environments that mirror real-world scenarios. This helps teams detect issues early, streamline debugging, and improve software quality while minimizing production risks and ensuring seamless deployments.

Redgate Test Data Manager enhances development and testing by providing sanitized, production-like data in lower environments, ensuring consistency and reliability across the software lifecycle. By replicating real-world scenarios without exposing sensitive information, teams can detect and resolve issues earlier, streamline debugging, and validate changes with confidence before deployment. This approach minimizes the risk of production failures, improves software quality, and supports compliance requirements, enabling developers to build and test efficiently while maintaining data integrity and security.

Redgate Test Data Manager is licensed on a capacity model based on the total volume of data in all production databases (priced per TB). You will need to purchase enough licenses to cover the total TB across all your databases and technologies (SQL Server, Oracle, Postgres SQL and MySQL). See our Redgate Test Data Manager licensing page for full details.
