ALGrid - web-control that displays the values of a data source in a table where
each column represents a field and each row represents a record. The ALGrid control
allows you to select, sort, insert, and edit these items.
ALGrid key features:
- Cross-Browser Support - supports the full set of features on most
popular browsers like Internet Explorer, Gecko-based browsers (Mozilla, Firefox,
Netscape), and Opera.
- Inserting new records - ALGrid has ability to insert new records
into DataSet.
- Column Sorting - ALGrid allows you to sort data by one-columns
just like in Microsoft Excel.
- Preview Row - With a simple property setting, control allows you
to display a preview region beneath each row just like MS Outlook. These sections
are extremely useful if you need to display memo field values or other information
that doesn't fit into individual grid cells.
- Viewstate
Optimization - ALGrid has great performance - minimum server load, maximum
viewstate and render-size.
Rich client browser functionality.
- Preserving the Grid State After Postback - ALGrid has the ability to preserve its
appearance, group-by state, sorting, current page, edit or selected state, and resizing
after postbacks with
minimum resource usage. This significantly improves the usability of the component.
- Easy Migration from GridView to ALGrid - the declarative syntax
of ALGrid is quite similar to that of the GridView control, which makes the migration
a pretty straightforward task.
- Rich Set of Column Types - ALGrid supports all widely used column
types (EditCommand, Bound, CheckBox,
Dropdown, PushButton, LinkbButton, HyperLink, ) as well as Templated columns, which give
you complete freedom over the data layout and formatting.
- Paging - ALGrid natively supports table paging, which enables users
to view the data in small chunks for faster loading and easier navigation.
- Design-Time Support - ALGrid has full support for the design mode
of Visual Studio .NET. This allows you to build, customize, and populate the grid
in a convenient WYSIWYG environment.
- Flexible Editing Functionality - edit controls appear within the
edited row.
- Appearance Customization - the appearance of all grid elements
is fully customizable
using skins.
- Filtering - ALGrid can now perform filtering operations
for all columns that support filtering. For each column there will be a dropdown
menu with the available filter expressions. ALGrid can automatically determine the
expression set applicable for each column based on the data type of the field.
- Multiple and Single select ability - User can select some records
with clicking on the item with pressed CTRL key.
