asp.net announcements: APNSoft is pleased to announce the release of APNSoft DataGrid 2.0!

APNSoft DataGrid is an ASP.NET server control with AJAX support to display
data in a tabular format with options of choice, sorting and editing
entries. DataGrid component has been designed in a way to reduce development
time at the utmost and require no specific knowledge from developers.

---------------------------------------------
New features:
---------------------------------------------

1. Running Mode
APNSoft DataGrid now supports different running modes: CallBack and
PostBack. Running mode controls how DataGrid handles sorting and paging. Use
the Mode property to specify the running mode of the DataGrid. If the Mode
property value is CallBack, paging and sorting are performed through
AJAX-style HTTP callbacks. If the Mode property value is PostBack, each
action initiates an ASP.NET postback and triggers the appropriate
server-side event.


2. ASP.NET AJAX compatibility
By default, any postback control inside an UpdatePanel control causes an
asynchronous postback and refreshes the panel's content. As the DataGrid now
supports PostBack running mode, component can be placed inside an
UpdatePanel control. Server side events for paging and sorting must be
specified as asynchronous triggers.


3. Support for Context Menu
APNSoft DataGrid now provides you with full support for cross-browser
context menu. You can use context menu for rows or column headers.


4. Export to HTML
APNSoft DataGrid can now export the data to HTML by using the new button
with 'HTML' icon on the Bottom Bar. The property Exportable specifies the
value indicating whether the column data will be exported to HTML or not.


5. Visible/invisible Bottom Bar
You can now make the Bottom Bar invisible by using the new property
BottomBar.Visible.


6. Updated Skins
Each Skin now includes new images and CSS classes required for Context Menu
and export to HTML.


7. New server-side methods

ResetColumnWidths - sets all columns at an equal percent fraction of the
DataGrid width.
ResetPageNumber - sets a Page Number to its default value (1).
ResetSelectedRow - removes the 'Selected' attribute from the row.
ResetSortedColumn - removes the 'Sorted' attribute from the column.


8. New client-side methods

dg.Sort(GridID, ColumnIndex, Direction) - sorts the data in the DataGrid.


9. Fixed bugs

Fixed a bug that cause the "The HTTP verb POST used to access path '/' is
not allowed." message.
Fixed a bug that causes the "Invalid postback or callback argument."
message.
The behavior of scrollbars is fixed when the AutoResize property is defined.
Position of the Edit Form is fixed if the DataGrid is placed in the DIV with
absolute position.
Several minor bugs fixed.
