Announcing the ExtendedDataGrid: Adding essential functionality to the default Windows.Forms.DataGrid.

The default System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid provided by the .NET Framework is a little bit limited in functionality. Therefore I've spent some time during my holidays building an extension to this default grid: the ExtendedDataGrid. At this point I've released a Beta version: 0.1 including these features:

  • Image DataColumn
  • Formatted Text DataColumn
  • LinkLabel DataColumn
  • Calculated field DataColumn
  • ...

New features and probably bug fixes will come soon so if you have any comments, questions, remarks, ... please let me know. If you are intrested in the ExtendedDataGrid, you can monitor this RSS Feed of the latest news. I know all these features are available as sample, code snippet, article, ... on the web, but I just hated to implement some of them all of the time, for each project. Also, if you are planning to use this component, or if you are just intrested: let me know, your support will motivate me to make further improvements. :-)

Btw, happy new year to all of you!

Thx for the positive comments! Garibaldi, I used Paint Shop Pro 7 to capture the screens.

Does it warn and ask confirmation when deleting records? I've created my own extended datagrid with this functionality, but that's all. If your grid has this + those other thing, I gladly use yours :)

Geert, at this point: no. But if there is any sample coding available on the net that explains this feature, I could include it.

To garibaldi: in the HTML Help Workshop (default installed with Visual Studio .NET) you will find a Image Editor. With the image editor you can capture screens (to place in your HTML help files or for other use)

I'm very interested in this component. Where can I find documentation/code samples? The URL http://dotnet.leadit.be/extendeddatagrid/ doesn't work
