Design your custom card-layout
WebGrid’s powerful row rendering engine supports blazing fast display speeds for
even the most complex row structures. Use the built-in column designer in Component
Designer 2.0 to create sophisticated custom ColumnSets and link them to your data.
Rendered in the same table hierarchy, ColumnSets typically generate 25% smaller
output size than other data grids, resulting in faster performance. With full support
for existing features such as grouping and sorting, ColumnSets offer an unprecedented
combination of design time ease and runtime power and flexibility. The result is
a professionally designed data grid that looks just the way you want it to, while
still delivering all the performance your users demand.
Row Preview
The same innovative technology that powers ColumnSets can be used to display a Preview
Row. This feature gives you the ability to create row previews similar to those
in Microsoft Outlook® auto preview mode – but that’s just the beginning. A host
of settings enables you to customize elements such as the display style, expander
image, and default expansion state.
Automatic column fitting
WebGrid provides two approaches to column auto-sizing. In ProportionalWidth mode,
each column width is recalculated based on its percentage of the total WebGrid width.
In AutoColumnWidth mode, only the columns in which AutoWidthCol property is set
are resized to fit into the grid's width, allowing you to leave more important columns
untouched as others are reduced in size.
