Build Your Best
Without Limits or Compromise

Fast, Lightweight, Fully Configurable, Feature-Rich

These adjectives help describe our new ASPxGridView but you will find that our competitors use the same phrases to describe their product offerings. So how do you decide who's telling the truth and which product delivers on its promises? How can you be certain that the hassles and frustrations you've encountered in the past with ASP.NET controls will not be repeated just because a tool vendor tells you their approach is better?

Fact is that no amount of marketing can hide the limitations of a product and as such, the best way to determine whether a given product addresses your business needs and those of your customers is to try it. If you currently own a competing ASP.NET grid and data editors library or if you are in the evaluation process, we invite you to download and evaluate the ASPxGridView Suite - and decide for yourself.

The demos contained within these web pages lay out our evidence - that the ASPxGridView has no equal in the marketplace…but you are both the judge and jury and we welcome your thoughts and look forward to your feedback.



Below you will find hot-button features that frankly every single one of our competitors claims they offer. We'd be remiss if we did not mention them as well, but before you read about these features, please indulge us for a brief moment so we can mention the two attributes we feel to be most important - SPEED and MEMORY FOOTPRINT.

When we set out to re-write our ASP.NET grid and data editors library, our mission was rather simple: Create a grid control that is fast - really fast and not a memory hog. A grid that will not choke and collapse on itself when the dataset contains 50,000 or more rows... A grid that will not make end-users cringe as they load a page and then attempt to navigate from page to page... A grid that fully exploits data operations against the database server, so features such as sorting, grouping, filtering and summary computations can actually be responsive rather than atrociously slow.

YES, the ASPxGridView is all about maximizing SPEED and conserving MEMORY. All the big ticket features a company claims to have in their grid are worthless without these. With that said, here is a general overview of all features you can expect to find when evaluating the ASPxGridView and Editors Library:




AJAX SupportAll core components that ship within this suite give you the ability to update control content using callbacks - thus eliminating the need to re-load the entire page.
Client-side EventsOur web controls expose a rich set of client-side events. These events are executed on the client side and have been engineered to maximize performance and to provide all key elements needed for the functionality of individual controls.
Binding to DataThe web controls that ship within this suite can be easily populated with data by binding to any standard data source type including: SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, XmlDataSource, AccessDataSource, and SiteMapDataSource.
Appearance CustomizationEach web control that ships within this suite fully supports style properties so that you can customize the appearance of individual elements and manage the overall appearance of a given control. In addition, all controls ship with a number of predefined auto-formats / presets. These presets allow you to specify the control’s appearance and behavior as your business needs dictate.
Template TechnologyTemplates are fully supported. For each control and each element inside it, you can completely customize the appearance or layout using any HTML or server-side control.
Rich Client-Side FunctionalityA comprehensive client-side API is available for our ASP.NET components. This functionality which is then coupled with the ability to handle events on the client side allows you to have full control over the control's behavior on the client side.
Cross-Browser CompatibilityInternet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape 7.2+, Opera 8+, and even Safari from Apple. Our controls are cross-browser compatible and are carefully tested on multiple browsers to ensure utmost compatibility.
Cookies SupportOur controls fully support cookies allowing your site's visitors to personalize pages as needed. If cookies are enabled, every possible end-user customization option is saved and then restored in future sessions.
