I'm goint to start a new web application (C# in VS2008) and the first problem I have is that I don't know which control should I use, WebDataGrid or UltraWebGrid?
Which are the main differents between them?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
That's a good question -- I think there is a relatively good discussion on this topic here:

Please, let us know if this helps.
First of all, thanks for the quick answer. Is the same WebGrid that UltraWebGrid?
Reading that post, I understand that:
Is that correct?
Yes, you are correct on all counts.
I need to free up some time to look at WebGrid. I've used UltraWebGrid for several years and right now, it's better the devil you know than the one you don't.
One quick question, I used the UltraWebGrid bound to my own objects, not a dataset etc. The applications are also designed to keep the grid rows under control. Does WebGrid work bound to objects? Does it have to use Ajax? I've only dabbled in Ajax but understand pretty much how it all works, i.e. it's a bit like a Windows Form grid, written in JavaScript running in the browser using Ajax to pull data from the server as needed. I like the idea of a lighter grid (less HTML) but Ajax isn't critical for me right now.
Cheers, Rob.
I have used Ultrawebgrid and WebDataGrid. I got too excited and changed most of my pages to wdg, and unfortunately now I am getting back all my screens to uwg as this controls seems to be much more stable, offers more features and it even seems to perform better thatn the "new" control.
I have had many problems with wdg, when refreshing for example, when sorting data and scrolling down to the last record. In my opinion whe wdg's still got a long way to mature before it can replace the ultrawebgrid.
