New Functionalities and Components

WDG-WHDG Word Exporter

Starting with the 11.2 release, you can export Grid data to MS Word® files. The new WebWordExporter™ control allows you to export data from either of the Infragistics Data Grids (WebDataGrid™ or WebHierarchicalDataGrid™).

WebDataGrid Multi-Column Headers

The WebDataGrid now supports multi-column headers where multiple levels of headers can be configured in the grid and data columns can be grouped into parent headers. The multi-column behavior works well with column resizing, column moving, sorting, and filtering.

WDG-WHDG Batch Updating

Batch Update mode of the Editing Core Behavior allows you to modify, either update, insert or delete rows, without going to the server on every row editing. All the data is edited on the client and it is persisted on the server on the first postback. The main features of the Batch Update mode are:

  • Modify more than one row at a time

  • Undo the modified data before sending it to the server

  • Dynamic recalculation on the client if there are summaries enabled

  • Client-side events

  • Using server events for updating, adding and deleting rows

Excel-Style Copy and Paste

Click and drag to select single or multiple cells and rows in either the WebDataGrid or WebHierarchicalDataGrid. Use standard keyboard shortcuts to copy these items to your clipboard and paste into Excel® or another WebDataGrid or WebHierarchicalDataGrid.
