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.
You can find the API to all the controls on this site if you follow the menus, or do a search for "<control name> API".
¿Are the ultragrid property CellTitleModeDefault and all tooltip-related properties shipped with WebDataGrid?
I can't find a way to make a tooltip appear when the cell text is too long to fit inside a column. I suppose the enumerator "CellTitleMode.onOverFlow" used to achieve that for me.
:(
BTW - I'm still unable to edit my replies on this board. The "More" button doesn't do anything. Is there an edit feature?
I really have got better things to do so I've put off migrating as my websites using the server based controls because I had the gut instinct that it would be incredibly painful. Doesn't sound like my instinct was wrong.
I refuse to call them legacy controls as that infers that server side controls are not fit for purpose anymore. There's many an good tune played on an old fiddle. Sure Ajax & JavaScript is trendy and is great if you've got days to re-code.
@fesani, you are absolutely right. I am now experiencing the painful migration from UltraWebGrid to WebDataGrid and WebHierarchicalDataGrid. I am really disappointed.
