This is the only .NET grid that combines the power of hierarchical master/detail views and Outlook-style row grouping with advanced features such as:

• classes that can all be inherited from and extended as needed for true flexibility the ability to use any .NET control as a viewer or editor
• the ability to add rows and columns that are not contained in a collection or data source at all (even in detail sub-grids)
• In fact, the latest v2.1 of the grid is so flexible that it can double as a heavy duty Treeview control. The grid's pixel-perfect XP look & feel has also been supplemented in the latest version by many end-user experience improvements.

It doesn't get any easier than this

　　Thanks to Xceed Grid for .NET's true WYSIWYG designer, you can set up your entire grid, including headers & footers, row grouping, insertion rows, columns, master/detail views, and much more quickly and easily right on your Visual Studio .NET form without code, wizards or having to decypher configuration dialogs. Quick & intuitive, as customers have come to expect from Xceed.

Fully extensible object model

　　Designed to be a fully object-oriented .NET component, Xceed Grid for .NET leaves behind the old programming paradigms from the ActiveX world that other grids have salvaged. Its clean and simple design doesn't flood you with an overabundance of properties, methods and events.

　　With just a few easy to master objects that harness the true power of .NET, developers will intuitively grasp how this grid works.

　　Extensibility is a fundamental part of Xceed Grid for .NET's core. Every single class in its rich object model is inheritable and documented so that it can be easily extended by the developer. Any of the grid's behavior can be modified or improved, making Xceed Grid for .NET extremely flexible and adaptable to any project's needs.

Fine grained control

　　All visual elements displayed by the grid, including the columns, column headers, rows, cells, detail grids, group headers, margins and row selectors behave as if they were individual controls on the grid. Each one reacts separately to all mouse and paint events, and each one is a separate object in the object model that can be extended and improved.

　　No other grid provides developers with such fine control over the nitty gritty details on the grid's work surface.

Unlimited viewers and editors

　　While other grids come pre-packaged with a limited set of custom-made cell editors, this grid allows any .NET control to be used as a cell viewer or editor. There are hundreds of controls you can use including those that come with Visual Studio.NET. Since no special code is required, using them is as easy as assigning the control to a property.

Bound & unbound simultaneously

　　Xceed Grid for .NET has the unique ability to work both as a fully unbound grid as well as a data-bound grid. You can add rows and columns as needed even if they aren't in a collection, array or data source. In fact, since it has no separate "unbound mode", your applications can seamlessly display and edit both unbound and bound data at the same time.

　　When using detail grids to display a hierarchical master/detail view, detail grids themselves can be bound, unbound, or both - regardless of whether the parent grid is bound or unbound.

　　In addition, a variety of special row and cell objects let you easily combine text and graphics anywhere on the grid for total control over the display.

This is not your father's WYSIWYG

　　Xceed Grid for .NET offers a truly rich design-time experience by introducing two important technologies not found on any other grid: a true WYSIWYG grid designer and the ground-breaking Grid Assistant.

　　What's so hot about Xceed Grid for .NET's WYSIWYG designer? For starters, at design time, each element in the grid is a separate object you can click on to set its properties. Gone are the frustrating days when clicking on a grid control selects the entire grid. Now you can just click on an element such as a column header, margin, group-by row, insertion row, column, cell, etc. and set its properties in the VS.NET property window.

　　You no longer need to work with wizards or learn how to use a proprietary configuration dialog box to set up the grid. The designer is so flexible, you can completely configure the grid right on your form. It allows you add, delete, resize and move around grid elements such as rows, columns, headers, groups, detail grids and insertion rows. And you get to see the results on the form right away - now that's what we call WYSIWYG.
