Does anybody know when 2008 vol 2 is coming out atleast in CTP form? Suppose it will have features like filtering and summer rows.
Thank you Bob for understanding and thank you for your valuable feedback!
We appreciate it!
I figured you would add functionality over time and that is what I am counting on. I figured I would have to change the implementation from how I did it in WinGrid to how I do it in XamDataGrid. In fact, I am doing that already as I use the XamDataGrid and have to code my own "GetRow" routine.
I also understand that you can't add 15+ years of features in the first version. It would be tough to rate what features of WinGrid shuld be first in XamGrid because I use so many. Just keep plugging away and I will work with the current version.
Thank you.

We are incrementally adding functionality to xamDataGrid until eventually this control and the WinForms version are comprable. Since WPF is a newer technology, we are taking into consideration WPF features in the design of these controls. As a result, the controls are not identical with their WinForm siblings. Already, WPF Styles and Animation adds a lot to the current version of NetAdvantage for WPF.
Keep an eye out for each release of NetAdvantage for new functionality. And if there are features you want to see added sooner than later, please post your suggestions and requests at our feature request site. We are greatly influenced by what customers want when we decide what to put into new releases.

Thank you!
I have been using Infragistics since Sheridan and Protoview. I am developing a new app that is replacing an app I wrote 10 years ago. This new app could be around as long if not longer. The other developers want to do Windows Forms because it is familar and I am having to justify WPF. I don't want this system to be outdated in 5 years because we used Windows Forms and now WPF is the standard. I am telling them the functionality is coming in WPF but we have to wait.
I am at a crossroads with my development because I am spoiled by the functionality of UltraWinGrid but want to use XamDataGrid. A lot of the functionality I provide the users is directly related to WinCalcManager, WinExcelExporter, column filtering functionality, etc that is not avaiable in XamDataGrid.
Without commiting Infragistics to a time frame, will Infragistics make the XamDataGrid what the UltraWinGrid is today? My design philosophy for the moment is to use the XamDataGrid where I can and use WindowsFormsHost interop and UltraWinGrid where I need the additional functionality. I view WindowsFormsHost interop as a band-aid and am hoping the WindowsFormsHost interop will be the bridge to a fully functioning XamDataGrid?
The official release date is not yet public. I believe the release will be coming out soon. Keep posted to our website though as it will contain some great additions to this product!
