iGrid.NET Control Tour - Introduction

This control tour allows you to understand the main concepts of iGrid.NET and its advantages. You can view the tour page-by-page or visit required pages directly through the sub-items of the Control Tour menu in the Local Menu at right.

Well, let's start...

iGrid.NET is a .NET grid control and is designed for creating tabular interfaces with the ability to highly adjust them. It works in unbound mode while it allows you to implement data-bound interfaces with the exact functionality you need using its rich object and event model. A lot of grids on the market allow you to bind a two-dimensional array directly to a grid, but in iGrid.NET it is its native mode - its cells are an array by themselves and iGrid provides you with a convenient way to use this array.

Internally iGrid.NET manages this array by itself and does it very effectively due to a page organization. Such tasks as adding many rows to the end of a grid when the number of rows to add is not known beforehand are also performed very quickly. Your work is to place data into iGrid.NET's cells and format them; iGrid.NET does the rest by itself!
