Stable and mature, it was the first WPF
datagrid on the market and is under constant development—no
other datagrid is updated as often. So you know you can build
apps you and your end-users can trust in mission-critical
situations, just as Microsoft and IBM
U2 do! |
|
The first and only data grid control to provide a rich,
fluid, and high performance user
experience, thanks to its beautiful appearance and capabilities
such as inertial smooth scrolling and animated full-column
reordering—which mimic the physics of real-life movement—as well
as easy-to-use, zero-lag data virtualization (see it in action),
which ensures data is only loaded when needed. |
|
Unmatched performance lets
you provide apps with gridviews that can easily handle millions
of rows and thousands of columns, so your end-users won’t have
the frustration of waiting for their data. |
|
 |
|
An enviable
feature set and
a simple
integration experience
let you easily create powerful gridview apps with highly sought
capabilities such as hierarchical master-detail, interactive 3D
views, the industry’s most advanced data virtualization, MVVM
support, and much
more. |
|
More than a license: it's a subscription! In
addition to a perpetual license for versions received during the
subscription, you get a year of these great services: expert
priority support and access to new versions, new features, and
bug fixes. Choosing the Blueprint subscription adds the full C#
and XAML source. |
|
Also perfectly suited to large
teams or complex
projects. Provides the best experience on the market
with remote data sources and greatly simplifies the coding for
data virtualization with LINQ. Facilitates development using
MVVM. Integrates seamlessly into automated user interface test
procedures (Coded UI Test). |

WPF / .NET Technology |
-
Created entirely for WPF and built with .NET 4, written in C# and
XAML. (Version 3.1, which is compatible with .NET 3.5, is still
available, as is Version 2.0 of this product, which is compatible
with .NET 3.0.)
-
Complete source code is available through a Blueprint subscription.
(Also includes the source code for Xceed 3D Views for WPF and Xceed
Editors for WPF.)
-
Supports UI virtualization, even when grouping data, so only
elements currently in view are created and kept, meaning faster
loading time, uses less memory. Container recycling also performed
for improved scrolling speed.
-
Design-time support in Visual Studio 2010/2008 and Expression Blend.
-
Design-time configuration window that lets you set up the most
important features quickly and easily.
-
XBAP-friendly, CLS compliant, and uses no unsafe blocks. No special
permissions are required, so it can run within the limited
permission set granted to XBAP applications.
-
Based on a flexible and extensible object model, with modular and
reusable visual elements.
-
The datagrid's cells are true WPF content controls, so they can
contain anything.
-
UI automation enables the use of assistive technologies and
script-based testing.
-
Supports the Coded UI Test capabilities of Visual Studio 2010, so
the datagrid integrates seamlessly into your automated user
interface test procedures.
-
Supports the WPF command infrastructure, for example letting you map
a toolbar button to "enter edit" in a cell.
-
Comprehensive documentation fully integrated into Visual Studio is
provided.
-
Supports Right-To-Left and Inking.
-
Supports regional settings including numbers, money type, dates,
etc.
-
Includes a variety of VB.NET and C# sample applications to get you
started.
-
All error handling works through .NET exception classes.
-
Can also be used in your Windows Forms applications.
-
Can be used in conjunction with the MVVM and
MVC design and architectural patterns.
-
Integrates well into dashboard and business intelligence software.

Rich in-place editing |
-
Features rich in-place editing that works in all views. See Included
editor controls below.
-
Auto-detection of ComboBox columns (enums, foreign keys).
-
Updates source when the cell or row exits edit mode or immediately
when the cell content changes.
-
Combo boxes can easily be used as cell editors without the need to
write code to fill the combo box thanks to auto-detection of
ComboBox columns (enums, foreign keys).
-
Routed edit events for both cell and row, providing fine-grained
control over the edit process.
-
Provides configurable keyboard and mouse edit commands.
-
Programmatic control over edit mode.
-
Provides Excel-like default keyboard and mouse edit behavior,
including F2, Esc (cancel edit on a cell and restore the original
value), Double-Esc (cancel edit on the entire row and restore the
original values), and Enter.
-
Allows you to specify a different visual template for a cell being
edited.
-
Cell editors can be displayed without entering edit mode, under a
variety of conditions such as a mouse hover over the cell or row,
the cell or row becoming current, the row being edited, or always.
-
Single-click edit mode allows entering edit mode and activating
items such as check, text, and combo boxes with one click.
-
Automatically selects the appropriate editor control depending on
the field data type.
-
Insertion row / card object allows for quick entry of new data.
-
A continuous insertion mode lets end-users add data without having
to manually move to the first editable column after finishing the
previous row.(New in v3.7)
-
Triggers meaningful edit events for both rows and cells.
-
Manages “null” and “DbNull” values.
-
Any portion of the grid can be made read-only.
-
The cells in a column can be non-focusable when read-only, so they
can’t be selected with either the mouse or the keyboard. (New
in v3.7)

Hierarchical master/detail capabilities |
-
Lets users see their data in a master-detail hierarchy.
-
The single-scrollbar approach used in detail grids provides a more
professional, integrated master/detail experience than the awkward
scrollbar-within-scrollbar approach used by competing datagrids.
-
Each datarow in the main grid or in a detail can have an unlimited
number of details attached to it.
-
Details can have “sibling” or “child” details, or both.
-
Details support headers and footers, grouping, sorting, and
autofiltering.
-
Different style for the data items contained in each same-level
detail.
-
Custom grouping in grid and details supported.
-
Custom detail relations supported.
|
|
|
|
Data grouping |
-
Supports hierarchical, multi-level grouping in all views.
-
Customizable group-level configurations with header and footer
support.
-
Supports UI virtualization, preserving memory and reducing load
time, even when grouping.
-
Supports custom grouping criteria, to allow your code to group
together rows with your own conditions.
-
Interactive, hierarchical “Group-by” row allows end-users to easily
create and manipulate groups themselves. Adapted for all included
views.
-
Programmatic control over expanding and collapsing groups.
-
Grouping can be controlled via code.
