Essential Grid for ASP.NET MVC

• Stacked Headers - Stacked headers allow users to have additional header rows that span across multiple grid columns. Users can group columns under such headers. This feature helps better organize grid data as users will be able to clearly see which dimensions of data relate to the same topic. Related columns in the same grid can be grouped under a single heading so that data in those columns will be seen as part of a whole.
• Auto-Wrap in Column Cells - When the content in a cell exceeds the width of the column it is in, this feature automatically wraps the text in the cell. This way, you will not need to double-click on a cell to see the entirety its content. You can resize the width of columns according to your needs; however, grids have a minimum specification for the width of columns. Depending on the properties that are enabled, you will either not be able to resize the column beyond that minimum width, or the content in the cell will be clipped.

Essential Grid for Windows Forms

• Visual Styles - This feature enables you to apply visual styles to a grid and its associated controls. You can apply visual styles to the grid, grid scrollbar, and cell-embedded controls like push buttons. It is not mandatory to specify the theme for every control individually.
