xamDataGrid, NetAdvantage For WPF
I have been using the Beta version of Infragistics WPF toolkit for a couple of months now and have given it some slack but I am somewhat disapointed with the recent production release in a number of areas;
1. Peformance is bad, really bad, to the point where I can not justify using this for a major project that I am working on, and am seriously looking for an alternative, Xceed comes to mind.
2. There appears to be no ability to generate Summary rows in the xamDataGrid, this for many users is a very important feature, and I use it frequently for financial reports that I need to generate for the client. It is interesting that there is a Header concept but no equivalent Footer concept, BTW Exceed has this!
3. Did I mention that performance is bad !!!!!, this really is the show stopper as far as I am concerned.
I am willing to give this toolkit a chance, but the above issues need to be addressed soon, otherwise I have to find an alternative.

I wanted to point out that in about 2 weeks, Xceed will be releasing Xceed DataGrid for WPF v1.1. The major item we have been working on in the past 3 months is performance. Areas where we particularly got speed improvements are grouping, sorting and scrolling. Scrolling is now live (though you can turn that on or off, because when there are 100,000 rows, it is still sluggish). I can’t wait to see what you think of the next version.
sounds great, I am also looking for the ability to show hierachies in the data grid as well. I.e. showing data relations in a dataset. Is there any support for this in Xceed’s grid ?
That’s an upcoming feature, not in v1.1.
So when can we expect 1.1 of Exceed to be available ?
V1.1 has been released. In-line master/detail is planned for one of the upcoming versions.
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
Anyway … nice blog to visit.
cheers, Humidify.
