DataGridView Extension 1.0. Release

When Microsoft released .NET framework 2.0 the DataGrid control was replaced by DataGridView, which allows the developers to control better the way the data is presented by creation of much more user friendly views, but even in DataGridView control there is missing functionality.

And here is where the DataGridView Extension component comes, it is absolutely free and extends the functionality of the standard DataGridView control by adding themes support, searching data, export to Excel and HTML, etc.

Moreover, DataGridView Extension allow end-users to control the whole appearance at run time – columns size and order, formatting, colors, borders, etc.

The developers can easily integrate DataGridView Extension in their existing application in two simple steps:

• Add reference to DataGridViewExtension.dll and the dll for exporting to Excel (DGVEExcelExporting.dll) and to HTML (DGVEHtmlExporting.dll) if needed.
•  Drag & drop DataGridView Extension Component on your root container from the toolbox then select the grid you wish to manage and set the value of its property ‘IsManagedByExtension’ to true

As a conclusion we can say that the DataGridView Extension brings direct, visible, benefits to the applications’ end-users by giving them control over the presentation of the data at run-time as well as export to external well known formats.
