Developer Express Announces ASPxGridView

Developer Express announced the availability of DXperiencev2007 vol 2, which provides Windows and ASP.NET components, IDE productivity tools,and reporting solutions for Visual Studio. As part of this release, DeveloperExpress introduces a new ASP.NET Data Grid, the ASPxGridView Suite.

 When it comes to Webapplications and ASP.NET grid controls, focus usuallytargets AJAX support, XHTML codegeneration, and styling options. Although these are critical features to anyASP.NET control, when it comes to advanced grid controls, speed and memory usewhen rendering large datasets are vital. To meet this need, Developer Express offersASPxGridView.

 Developer Expressdeveloped ASPxGridView targeting performance and optimum memory use againstlarge datasets. Whether a grid displays one record or one million, the servershould respond instantly.

 Data processingwithin the ASPxGridView is managed by the Data Controller first introduced withthe XtraGrid Suite for Windows Forms. The Developer Express Data Controllerallows the ASPxGridView to perform the following operations:

  • Sort against an unlimited number of columns

  • Group against an unlimited number of columns

  • Filter data

  • Compute summaries against the entire dataset or individualgroups

  • Use unbound columns

  • Manually control data operations

 

With ASP.NET, most grid controls need the entire datasetto be loaded and processed for every operation. Instead of reading the entiredataset from the data server and then managing data within the grid,ASPxGridView simply displays data that has already been grouped or sorted onthe data server. This is possible because of a specially designed data providerincluded within the suite. This provider can produce smart queries so that allthe grid needs to do is download records to be displayed within the currentpage. If you have 100,000 records in your data source and want to display 10records on the page, the grid will need to download only 10 records.
