| Looks like there are a couple of leading 3rd party datagrids. My short search has come up with a short list of:InfragisticsdbNetGridInfosoftIt's just not possible for me to take time to review products like these in any depth. It's going to be: ready fire aim. Any comments about any of these 3 or recommendations for another?Sam |

| For ASP.net or Winforms?I've never used Infragistics, but I've got a friend that swears by their .Net stuff.There's the built-in datagrid as well, but I think the Infragristics one is better.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

| This is an ASP.NET project, not Winforms.The datagrid with Microsoft is short a long list of items that'll takes days/weeks to code around myself.I've had a couple of gurus recommend Infragistics.Trouble with a decision like this is it's hard to see the potholes down the road, and it costs a lot to turn around, go back to take another turn.On another note, it's surprising that every datagrid I've seen only supports IE. Must be the JavaScripts included in the package.Sam |

| I see your point. The problem is my customer base. LOTS of them are still running Netscape 4.7. Then there are people who run MACs. Microsoft's datagrid renders well accross browsers. It's the 3rd party datagrids, all jazzed up with JavaScripts that have compatability problems.Sam |

| The MS Datagrid is great for displaying data from stored procs. It even has the beginnings of edit by row. If you want bells like - DELETE a row, - Confirm the DELETE or UPDATE - Add a new row - Focus set on first editable item when a row is opened for editing - The bells like layout - icons, controls for the pageset sizeI found a site that provides free 3rd party controls to fill in these gaps at[url]http://metabuilders.com/Tools/FirstFocus.aspx[/url]I'm still considering using these. It may bulk up my coding, but I might have a better handle on things that way in the short term.Sam |

| Ahhh ok, that makes sense. I've not gotten into the whole delete and edit stuff in a grid. Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |
