Hi!I have been using UltraWebGrid for a couple years and now about to switch to the new WebDataGrid instead and have some basic questions I was unable to find answers for in your documentaion.
First, is there pdf overview like you had for UltraWebGrid?
Second, I can bind data with Gridview control but cannot with WebDataGrid. What are the updated changes?
Third, is there documentation of how to make the transition from old to new?
I feel like I have to relearn everything I just learned to make Infragistics tools work again...
Thanks
Hello
When migrating from the UltraWebGrid to the WebDataGrid, the WebDataGrid is part of our Aikido framework which is our own ASP.Net control framework. The Aikido controls are faster web controls which use ASP.Net AJAX for all ajax communication between the client and the server.
Please see the forum post where information regarding some of the differences between using the UltraWebGrid and the WebDataGrid are explained by Taz Abdeali, our Product Manager:

Some samples for DataBinding the WebDataGrid may be found in our NetAdvantage WebClient ASP.NET Samples Browser for 2010 Volume 2 which contains the source code on how to Programatically and Declaratively DataBind the WebDataGrid.
Please use the following link to view our Samples Browser:

The following link to the Infragistics NetAdvantage ASP.Net Online Help for 2010 Volume 2 contains information on Support Data Sources for the WebDataGrid:
Supported Data Sources <http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/Current/CLR4.0/?page=WebDataGrid_Supported_Data_Sources.html>
Regarding your inquiry for a WebDataGrid PDF overview, I am checking with our Development Team and will update you with any information they provide.
If there is a WebDataGrid behavior or property which you have a specific question for, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you.

All of this is great information but I have already seen it on the Web site and still does not answer the question.
Your "samples" do not show connection strings or how the datadinding is occuring. I am simply using a button on a page to display data in a WebDataGrid from a SQL source using VB.NET code.
What I am asking is very simple. I want simplicity because I do not want to program for 20 hours to have a simple data grid. Should I just change the tool set?
Hello,The DataBind for a WebDataGrid to a SqlDataSource is very similar to the DataBind of the GridView control to a SqlDataSource. You mention SQL source, what type of SQL source?
Do you mean you are trying to use a button click to DataBind the WebDataGrid to a SqlDataSource for a table for a DataBase in Sql Server, or are you looking to DataBind to a detached DataSet? Please be specific with your requirement and I will be happy to assist you.Thank you.Sincerely,Mike D.Developer Support EngineerInfragisticswww.infragistics.com/support
