.NET Grids

We are starting development on some .NET projects using C#.

We are considering the purchase of some components to help with development.
Our feeling is that a robust GRID control is crucial. There are LOTS of
them around.

Have played around with XCEED.NET GRID and it looks pretty good.

Have downloaded Component One. the product looks pretty nice, but the
support is REALLY bad.



I'm wondering if there anyone can point me to someplace where an evaluation
has been done of the different .

The 2 others I see advertised are

Syncfusion Essential Grid

Infragistics Net Advantage.

Thoughts on the products and/or quality of support are welcome.

Thanks.

Simply the best.

I can't agree. We use it in our project and it is slow, and full of bugs,
and source code for it is a mess. First look is very positive, but if you
make extensive use of it, it's horrible control. Not intuitive, properties
are not named like in other .NET controls. And worst thing is, that many
important properties has lack of Localizable attribute.

So resuming, if you use .NET DataGrid, you have the same amount of work to
run it properly, but for free.

But that is my own opinion, maybe others have better feelings about this
control

My very good friends at SyncFusion provide a grid for .NET.

Their tools are absolutely best-of-breed and created by the same team of
engineers who worked at Stingray.

Remi, may I ask you, which version of XtraGrid do you use?
And, if it's that bad and slow, why do you use it in your project?
Also, which 3rd party grid do *you* recommend, if any?

regards, Robert

Essential Grid is very, very good, also their Editors & Tools package.

Other components, like Chart or Diagram, are - compared to competition
- not very good.
