.Net Suite, v2.6.2 (Build 2.6.2.44912) [2012-01-06]

    Enhancements:

  • [ENH] Threading model improvements. Unlike previous versions, the new version of the Grid no longer uses IDispatcher,
    shared among all grids. Instead, it uses an individual instance of this
    dispatcher that allows programmer to create grids in different message
    loops.
  • [ENH] Added a Grid(IDispatcher) constructor enabling to specify an arbitrary model of cross thread synchronization.

    The following bugs have been fixed:

  • [BUG]
    Fixed a bug when the grid connected to IBindingList doesn't
    automatically delete rows in the case of the presence of groups.
  • [BUG] Fixed crash of the grid when user adds new rows via graphical interface in the case of activated sortin

  • [ENH] Added an optimization, when IBindingList connected to a grid could notify subscribers via IBindingList.ListChanged event if user editing data in grid cell left the data unchanged.

    programmatic sorting, however it prevents user from sorting columns by
    clicking a header.
  • [ENH] Behavior of Grid.Highlighting.Enabled property has been changed. Now, if this property is set to false, it doesn't prevent cell highlighting with Cell.Highlight() method. However, it blocks automated highlighting upon notificaton via INotifyPropertyChanged interface.

.Net Suite, v2.5.0 (Build 2.5.0.40128) [2011-06-13]

    Data editing

  • [ENH] .Net Grid now supports data validation,
    where the programmer may specify whether user value is valid and pick
    one of the possible actions - cancel editing results, apply new value,
    ask user to enter a new value, display an error icon or switch to
    editing a new cell.
  • [ENH] Navigation between editors by pressing Enter, Tab, Shift+Tab has been added.

    Data binding

  • [ENH] Grid interaction with data sources has been completely refactored.
    As the result, the grid can now work in thread-safe mode with
    different data sources including IList, IBindingList, IListSource
    and with BindingSource and CurrencyManager.
  • [ENH] Ability to bind any row to data sources via
    Row.DataSource
    property has been added.
  • [ENH] It is now possible to bind .Net Grid to
    multiple data sources
    simultaneously via IListSource interface (e.g. to multiple IBindingList at the same time).
  • [ENH] Data binding can now be combined with Grid.Rows.Add() / Row.Add() methods.
  • [ENH] Ability to build a hierarchy when data objects in one or several properties return collections of other objects has been added.
  • [ENH] It is now possible to create a hierarchy with multiple IBindingList containing objects of different types.
  • [ENH]
    It is now possible to subscribe to IBindingList events and to objects
    in IBindingList collections if they implement INotifyPropertyChanged
    interface. Their thread-safe processing, sorting, filtering, grouping
    and painting are maintained.
  • [ENH] Conditional binding feature
    has been added. With this feature the grid asks how the data
    should be added. For example, if a data object contains a collection
    of other objects, the programmer can add its collection instead of the
    object itself, thus missing a whole hierarchy level while hierarchical binding.

    Drag & drop

  • [ENH] A feature of dragging data
    within a grid and between grids has been added.
  • [ENH]
    It is now possible to move data on the same hierarchy level and to
    perform hierarchical dragging of rows while preserving state and
    hierarchy of dragged objects.
  • [ENH] Full customization of drag
    & drop process supporting choice of content and various effects,
    place of insertion and hierarchy is now available.
  • [ENH]
    Features for dragging and dropping data to external applications (Excel,
    Word.) and importing data from external applications providing an
    interface to deserialize data and insertion methods have been added.
  • [ENH] Intuitive automated scrolling where needed during data dragging has been added.

    Lasso selection

  • [ENH] The grid now supports a new method of
    user-friendly data selection.
    When the user moves the mouse with left button pressed,
    the grid displays a semi-transparent area, and all rows within
    this area become selected. Various effects are supported when Ctrl or Shift keys are pressed

    Other new features of the grid

  • [ENH]
    A new Header.StretchMode property enables stretch widths of all the
    columns so that they evenly occupy the available space.

    The following bugs have been fixed:

  • [BUG] .Net Grid doesn't properly unsubscribe rows from data objects if they are removed in background thread.
  • [BUG] .Net Grid can raise exception if it is notified via INotifyPropertyChanged when PropertyChangedEventArgs.PropertyName equals to null.

    from strings). More about data formatting.

  • [ENH]
    Row docking. Even when rows are sorted, they remain in their docked
    places at any hierarchical level. For example you can dock any UITypeEditor rows that act as filters or a row that calculates an average value for the column.
  • [ENH]
    If a user clicks on another cell after editing, the grid automatically
    goes into edit mode of the new cell. Users no longer have to click
    multiple times on the new cell to start editing.
  • [ENH] Added support for primitive types such int, bool... Ex: grid.Rows.Add(1);
  • [ENH] Added methods to find the next and previous editable cell: Cell.NextEditableCell and Cell.PrevEditableCell
  • Added support for dynamically created UITypeEditor that can be specified through the Grid.CellEditor event.
  • [ENH] Added Grid.FilterRefresh() method to re-check all rows for filtering. Usually it is called when filter conditions in IFilter interface change.
  • [ENH]
    Added very nice and useful feature - pop-up tooltips in cells. NetGrid
    provides a very simple API for implementing this ability. By default,
    all cells that have pop-up tooltip have a red exclamation mark to the
    right of the cell's value that makes such cells immediately
    identifiable. Using this feature a programmer can mark some cells and
    provide explanation text in pop-up balloons.
