What are my best ASP.Net GridView replacement options?

We currently use a GridView to display 1000+ rows of data. Minimum requirement for replacement is a fixed header row, fixed footer and columns would be a plus.

This would have to work across IE 6 and greater.

I've heard good things about Infragistics, but the demo on their page is slow.

So what are my best options? jQuery? YUI? other 3rd party?

You might want to check out Telerik

I would skip the server side components and look into jquery/javascript. Send a normal table in markup to the client then let the browser ajax data in as it needs it.

jqGrid springs to mind, or extjs.

Aren't those slow though? I'm talking about 1000+ rows of data, sometimes 15 columns wide.

In modern browsers - no - and remember the data has to come down the wire in some format anyway - either html, xml or json

ie 6 isn't so modern though, but I don't think I'll have to worry about ie 6 much longer. I think ie7+ is the new target.

If I had a choice it would be chrome every time. It is simply a delight to use and javascript flies on it. I cant believe how poor IE has been for so long. It s a clear irrefutable example of why a monopoly is a bad thing for progress.

Does this also handle horizontal scrolling?
