Forgive my noob-ness but what is the difference between the WebDataGrid and the WebGrid?
Same for the WebDataTree and the WebTree.
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...
Hello,
At the moment, we do not have such a comparison between the two or a conversion guide, but thanks for sharing your input with us. We will work on creating such a guide that will help differentiate the two on a feature level so that it is easier to see the key differentiators between the two grids .
In the mean time, if you are looking for anything specific, please feel free to post on the WebDataGrid forums and one of us should be able to get back to you.
Regards,
Taz.
Is there some kind of decision guide or feature comparison between the UltraWebGrid and the WebDataGrid? That would make it easier to figure out whcih one to use and if one should be converted. Also, a conversion guide would be helpful to have a step by step path on conversion.
Frank,
For your combo box question, take a look at the following post:

At this moment, your assesment is correct that the WebDataGrid only supports flat data and for hierarchical data or GroupBy, WebGrid is the way to go. As the WebDataGrid is adapted and we get feedback/suggestions, we will be evaluating features that will go in the grid in future releases.
Thanks Taz, it does answer a lot of my questions. Maybe just a question or two more......
I've read some of the high level literature on the WebDataGrid. A few questions that aren't 100% clear.
Editing - can you edit and update using the WebDataGrid? Use Combo boxes?
You mentioned the Outlook Group By as not being supported. It my understanding that having multiple levels of data (bands) in the grid is also one of the features that are not supported.
Would it be a fair characterization that if your need is to use it like a basic spreadsheet, then WebDataGrid is a good solution. If some of the more wiz bang stuff like multi-level data, multi-level forms and grouping are needed, best to go with the WebGrid.
Thanks,
Frank
