Forgive my noob-ness but what is the difference between the WebDataGrid and the WebGrid?
Same for the WebDataTree and the WebTree.
Hello,
In a nutshell, WebDataGrid and WebDataTree are both built on top of our Aikido framework. Aikido is our own asp.net control framework that lets us build lighter, faster web conrols and uses ASP.Net AJAX for all ajax communication between client/server. You can read more about it here :
https://es.infragistics.com/help/aspnet/web-whats-new-in-2012-volume-1#wdg_whdg_excel_style_filtering
All the newer controls that we've been building for past year and a half are all based on top of this framework. We will be re-writing some of our existing controls and moving others over to our Aikido framework in the upcoming releases.
Hope this helps.

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.If you have uwg screens then my advise is to be careful before you think of upgrading the control to webdatagrid, reliability does more than performance in my opinion.you need to think of this situation, it works but it is slow vs.... it is slow but it works!
How do the two grids compare if the user has javascript disabled? Taking into account addons to firefox like NoScript where the user selectively disables or has to enable javascript for a site...
For new screens when should one use the WebGrid vs WebDataGrid?
I've got screens built on the WebGrid now, should I invest the time to change them? Is there any way it's as simple as replacing the control on the page? Does all the AJAX behind the scenes including client side javascript and servers side events, methods and properties?
Thanks,
Frank
