Hi all,
We understand that the Grid is component that the community is very interested in. We would like to deliver something that is most useful to you. Since this is a very complicated control with lots of permutations and combinations we would like to understand what are your top most requirements in a ClientSide grid. I have come up with a preliminary list of features and would like your help in communicating to us what you care about most.
*What do you do? *
- If you see anything in this list that is important to you, open a bug for that feature and post it a link to that bug in a comment in this bug.
- If you see that somebody has already opened a bug then vote for the same instead of opening a new bug.
- If you do not find the feature you want listed here then open a bug for it anyways, link it in a comment in this bug and I will update this feature list.
- Please do not vote for all just because it is cool to have the feature. Letting us know what you care about most will help us filter the list to the bare minimum and deliver a solution that can be incrementally updated to add new features later on.
*Feature set:*
- DataSources – how does the grid pull in data?
ASP.NET datasource
Source data from a html, json, xml, webservice
- Data Caching: Do you want all data to be cached on load?
Data caching to enable paging
Data caching to perform sorting on the client side
Data caching to filter data on the client side
- Asynchronous data refresh if caching is not turned on or not supported that will allow you to get relevant data per page
Sorting
paging
Column filtering to asynchronously filter data
- Client side operations
Column and row resizing
Column reordering
Column grouping
- Readonly grid – present data on the client side and not worry about data updates or deletes
Non-read-only grid:
Updating and deleting items from the client side
- Customization
Column styles
Row styles/Alternating row styles
Pager styles
- Templates
Header template
Item template
EditItem template
- Pager
Out of the box pager
Option to plug in custom pager that caters to more complex scenarios
- Javascript
Javascript apis to operate it easily without any dependence on ASP.NET
Closing this bug.
