The One With

Silverlight 2 Beta 2 - The Grid is coming!!!

     

You might have seen the long awaiting announcement about our DataGrid for Silverlight http://www.devexpress.com/Home/Announces/AgDataGridFreeLicense.xml . Yes it is absolutely free!.

What do you get? Let' see...

-  Automatic sorting against an unlimited number of columns.

-  Automatic Grouping. Yes, since this is a Grid made by Developer Express expect support for Grouping.

-  Support for summary footers with 5 build-in aggregation functions. (Count, Max, Min, Avg and Sum) and the ability to define custom ones.

- UI Elements that fully support custom templates. (Yes you can override how a row looks like by providing a custom template)

- Full animation support. Which is impossible in the standard grid.

- Lot's of optimizations for rendering.

I will blog more about each of these features of AgDataGrid and other controls that we are doing for Silverlight in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned.

P.S: LC Rocks. More on that later... :)

Simply speaking, will this new grid force the aspxgridview retirement?

All leads me to believe so, since this new one seems to have all features aspxgridview has, plus a more integrated schema with Silverlight...

I don't see how it replaces aspxgridview since this requires Silverlight on the client and not everything supports Silverlight whereas all browsers will render the aspxgridview, e.g, I am assuming you could browse to a website containing the aspxgridview using the browser on a mobile phone but you can't install silverlight on the mobile (yet!!)
