When it comes to web applications and ASP.NET grid controls, competitors choose to focus on a few key areas such as AJAX support, XHTML code generation and styling options. Without doubt these are critical features to any ASP.NET control but when it comes to advanced grid controls, the one area in which our competitors are silent (and if not silent, they often use hyperbole to mask the actual facts) is speed and memory use when rendering large datasets. The following is a brief outline of why we feel the ASPxGridView is unequaled and why you should consider it for your next ASP.NET web application.

The essence of data editing is to provide end-users with intuitive and error-free data input. If you are trying to accomplish this objective with standard editor controls, there is simply too much to do. You have to write your own scripts to manage controls on the client side. You have to carefully align validator controls to your editors to build a nice form layout. At times, you must even provide the appropriate editor-database value conversion logic.

Master-Detail Data Representation

With nearly no code, (one code line per one detail) you can build master-detail layouts of any complexity - with any number of nesting levels and any number of details at each level. In addition to this, you are not limited to displaying grids in details - Detail Rows can display any type of information, such as collapsible row preview sections.

Data Export - Instant Printed Reports

Once you've shaped your data as needed, you can easily create a printed report. The grid's contents (in the same layout as it appears on-screen) can be exported to all popular formats, including RTF, PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV.

Powerhouse Lookup Combo Box

The ASPxGridLookup editor combines the functionality of the ASPxDropDownEdit and ASPxGridView controls to allow end-users to easily select values from a dropdown grid containing lookup items. The ASPxGridView control is seamlessly embedded into the editor's dropdown window, providing the editor with a powerful customizable data-processing and data-representation functionality.

The DevExpress ASP.NET Filter Editor does not require any SQL syntax and doesn't have any limitations regarding filter condition complexity. To make filtering even easier for end-users, this control automatically suggests conditions and possible filter values for each individual field.

When in edit mode, the ASPxGridView offers you total freedom in how individual editors are arranged. With the ASPxGridView Suite, you can use In-Line Editing, Customizable In-Line Edit Forms, Popup Edit Forms and Edit Form Templates.
