RadGridView

NEW

• ADDED: New data layer (with a new RadListSource component, and a RadCollectionView component for handling bound/unbound data), which is generic, faster and uses less memory. It is reused in RadListControl and RadDropDownList;
• ADDED: A GridViewHiararchyDataProvider which brings several distinct advantages to the hierarchy mode, such as support for custom hierarchy (the old mechanism supported relation hierarchy only), support for self-referencing hierarchy, load on demand hierarchy;
• ADDED: Data conversion layer, which recognizes automatically any attached type converter attribute and uses it to convert the data.
• ADDED: Virtualized columns – enables fast scrolling when using a large number of columns.
• ADDED: Split mode - enables horizontal and vertical split views.
• ADDED: Support for right pinned columns and bottom pinned rows
• ADDED: Pinned summary items and total summaries when grouping is applied
• ADDED: All system rows can be reordered.

• ADDED: Grouping by multiple columns
• ADDED: New build-in drag and drop service it is easy to drag & drop rows between two grids.
• ADDED: IDataErrorInfo support, RadGridView will reflect automatically all errors indicated by this interface.
• ADDED: Event based hierarchy
• ADDED: A new VirtualizedScrollPanel which provides a new generalized scrolling mechanism with which you can easily add virtualized scrolling to any RadControl element and/or layout by only defining the logical and visual items.
• ADDED: 3 new export formats: ExportToCSV (see video), ExportToHTML (seevideo), ExportToPDF (based on ExportToHTML)
• ADDED: ExportToExcelML: New property FileExtension.

FIXED

• FIXED: ExportToExcelML: Sometimes conditional formatting in exported file is spread on more than the evaluated cells.
• FIXED: ExportToExcelML: underling fonts are represented incorrectly in XML and the file cannot be opened from Excel.
• FIXED: ExportToExcelML: ExcelCellFormatting event does not allow to change applied conditional formatting and cell data value.
• FIXED: ExportToExcelML: Wrong alignment and forecolor for conditional formatting.

CHANGED

Please contact Telerik support if you need help you upgrade your application to the new version.
