Hi We are selling an ERP solution which is up to now completely written in VB6 We are planning to go to WPF in the near future.
Due to our migration strategy we will not do the migration as a whole but in more than one step. This implies that we want to keep as much of our business code as possible, which means that the new UI elements must support the same interface as the old ones do.
For the simpler controls like textbox, checkbox and so on we do not see problems.
But:for business reasons we have build our own datagrid control (datagrid in terms of WPF) that has export, merge, outlininig support and many features more.
My specific question is: I know that there are many WPF datagrid out there which are far more powerful than our own control is, but we are using the datagrid in a special row/column based way (a cell content is set by Grid.TextMatrix(Row,Col) = "blabla" rather than through databinding to a business objects property, and we have the functionality of using a String as Source of the complete datagrid like so: Datagrid.Clip = ) So we need a datagrid which is able to run in unbound mode, using the (same or similar) syntax as described above.
Do you know which professional datagrids provide this feature?
