Are there any near term plans to support GroupBy columns in the WebDataGrid?
Hi cantrellr,
At this time, I do not believe there are plans for this. The WebDataGrid is mean to display flat data, whereas group by is getting hierarchical. If you require this, you will need to use the WebHierarchicalDataGrid and simply have one level of data. If you would like to see this supported directly in the WebDataGrid, you can always submit a feature request for it.

That is unfortunate. It is the main reason we are probably going to have to say goodbye to Infragistics.
Our users construct queries and the results get poured into the grid where they may need to group, filter, multi-col sort, etc. We allow the user to turn these feature off and on from a popup menu.
So, we do not know in advance what our users may want to do. Therefore, according to you we would have to use WebHierarchicalDataGrid as our grid surface, in case they want to group. We have found that binding a single table to that grid to be a kludge at best and that the grid itself to be short of the feature set we used to engage in the old UltraWebGrid.
So long old friend.
