Real-time updates in Dapfor .Net Grid.
Version 2.6 also improves performance while receiving updates from an IBindingList.
Dapfor .Net Grid is a hierarchical data presentation grid that features: single or multiple headers, real-time row grouping, sorting, filtration, cell highlighting, rich custom cell editors and standard editors. Dapfor .Net Grid combines high performance (50,000 cell updates/second), thread-safe implementation, no deadlock risks, XML and binary serialization, data binding and more. Dapfor .Net Grid includes standard editors based on UITypeEditor class, advanced cell editors (created over cells - TrackBar, CheckBar, etc.) and row docking features.
Updates in V2.6
- Added a threadsafe implementation of IBindingList - Dapfor.Net.Data.ThreadSafeBindingList. It protects internal data and fires IBindingList.ListChanged notifications without acquiring a synchronization object to prevent from the deadlock.
- Performance improvements while receiving updates from IBindingList.
- Added an optimization, when an IBindingList is connected to a grid you could notify subscribers via the IBindingList.ListChanged event if a user editing data in grid cell had left the data unchanged.
- Support for various themes including XP/Vista/Windows 7.
- Added feature of saving and restoring grid layout to an XML file in design mode.
- Column.Sortable behavior has been changed. This property no longer blocks column programmatic sorting, however it prevents users from sorting columns by clicking a header.
- Behavior of Grid.Highlighting.Enabled property has been changed. Now, if this property is set to false, it doesn't prevent cell highlighting with Cell.Highlight() method. However, it blocks automated highlighting upon notification via INotifyPropertyChanged interface.
- Support for deleting content upon pressing DEL key has been added. This feature can be enabled with Grid.Navigation.RemoveSelectionOnDelete property.
- Added new examples of theme use and display of summaries in columns or docked rows on various hierarchical levels.
- Editor background color is now consistent with background color of the edited cell.
- Added support for composite objects in .Net Inspector
About Dapfor
Since 2007 Dapfor has developed high-quality software for modern applications that require high performance and reliability. One of the main components of such applications is a grid, i.e. a component that displays data in tabular form. Dapfor .Net Grid was initially designed for electronic trading systems with their stringent requirements to robustness, low consumption of memory and CPU resources, ergonomic and simple user interface and rich API. These requirements have a common objective - to gain the first place on the market, to improve development time and to ensure productive work in run-time. As the result, Dapfor has created the a productive and robust hierarchical grid. It can be used in a great variety of applications (not just for financial markets). It makes software user-friendly, reduces CPU and memory consumption and considerably accelerates development time with multiple services included in the grid and RAD (rapid application development) patterns.
