Hi,

I have two DataTable objects that both contain the same data (first contains data before a certain change, second has the data after that change).

Assuming that both tables have the same number of records, is there any way to show differences between the tables in a nice, user-friendly way using Telerik RadGrid (or maybe any other Telerik control)?

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,

I am not sure what exactly do you want to implement. You can have table comparisons in various layouts. You can have 2 grids side by side with different rows /cells bolded or styled differently. Or you can have something completely different.

If you share with us what exactly you have in mind, we can advise you on particular implementation details with RadGrid.

Hello Veli,

Sorry for not being specific. My hope was that this might be a common scenario (like making file diffs when working with version control systems) and therefore RadGrid might have some build-in functionality already for comparing two tables.

Anyway, I've implemented the desired functionality myself already by programmability merging two table into one and highlighting different values on PreRender event.

Thanks,
Michael
