Have a very basic question about xamWebGrid never having used it... does copy paste (cells) into and from Excel work?
Thanks.
Hi,
Currently the xamWebGrid does not have any copy and paste features.

Hi Steve, Is it in next release plan or later? Thanks Imran Javed Zia
Imran:
The Silverlight framework does not currentl provide any mehanism to allow access to the system clipboard so ufortunatly this is simply a limitation of the platform.
If the platform adds the ability to allow us to acces the clipboard, we will definitely look at adding support for that to the grid.

Hi Devin,
I am looking into this issue for couple of days. SilverLight controls like TextBox allows you to copy paste data as in other enivironments (Windows and Web Pages). I have used following tutorial with some changes to get copy paste functional with XamWebGrid. I am testing my solution with different scenario and plateforms. Hope following links may be helpful to oothers:
