Compatibility with other WebGrid’s features
As in every major release, WebGrid always maintains its high compatibility with
existing features. However, there are certain conditions where the enhancements
aren’t applicable due to behaviors conflict.
SmartBatchUpdate™ is designed to support these following WebGrid’s features:
- All user interaction features, such as column resizing, moving, selection and context
menu.
- All databound operations, such as sorting, grouping and filtering.
- Special support for column grouping, where newly added rows will remain visible
and will be properly indented according to the group level
- Data paging includes both classic paging and virtual load.
- Cell-select editing mode.
- Columnset layout mode.
- Column freezing.
- Auto-filter suggestion.
- Preview row.
- Self referencing.
The high compatibility means that implementing a batch update feature in your existing
WebGrid is as simply as replacing the assemblies and enabled the new SmartBatchUpdate
property.
