Hi Micheal,

Thanks for the blog. After evaluation of all the third party tools, we started working with Syncfusion controls for Grid, Chart, Ribbon & Docking manager. All the features they exposed are working fine with our environment. Also what the best thing with Syncfusion is the support system they are having, we can get the fixes for the bugs with in 10 days. Great Experience.

Thanks,
John

Hi Helen G,

Sorry for wasting your time.. It was written long time back. We need the bindable “SelectedItem” .. Would you mind telling me what you would do if you want to bind the selected item of Datagrid with the object from ViewModel but Datagrid doesn’t provide that dp prop? attached property on your own?

Hi,
The review starts off with a very childish complaints about SelectedItems in Infragistics datagrid. Then it goes on to tell us that the author could not figure out his way around the object model. This is laughable.
I assume that the depth and reliability of the rest of the review is same.
Just a big waste of time.

Hi Micheal,
thanx but i want you to include your test grouping, filtering, sorting performance on real time update, and using with CustomTypeDescriptor.
We cant find any fit 3rd party tool yet.

Any suggestion.. Until now we test and unfortunately elect

Syncfusion(8.3.0.22): too many bugs and really bad testers.
Mixed inh. grouping problem (try to cast all row to first row type like first row is Foo second row is YeeFoo and third row is MeeYeeFoo Its not problem when first row is Foo, but when first row is YeeFoo) .
Performance problem in sync dock pane.
Filter (like excel) not update items on data update (and filter choose list).
Horizontal Scroll is too slow

Devx (v2010 vol 1.7) : Hierarchical and grouped data expand/collapse and Horizontal Scroll is too slow.

Infragistics(20103): Doesnt update group/sort on row data update ( sort can be fixed with record.RefreshSortPosition())

ComponentOne(2010v2) : Doesnt support CustomTypeDescriptor (it uses reflection only)..

Telerik(2010_2_0812): Doesnt support group on data update

Our requirements:
-Supports CustomTypeDescripters
-Grid Sort, Filter, Group, Summaries update on data update
-Good performance on horizontal scrolling
-Hierarchical and grouped data expand, collapse performance
