Best 3rd Party ASP.Net Grid Control

Question

One of the project teams in my company is using Infragistics ASP.Net Grid control. I've been brought in to troubleshoot performance issues.

What I found is: The Infragistics ASP.Net Grid control generates insane amount of viewstate. Disabling viewstate renders the control near unusable. I'm thinking of proposing that they go ahead and replace it with something lightweight, has built-in AJAX support, does not play havoc with the pages' ViewState etc.

I would like to know your expereince with 3rd Party Grid controls.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I use RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX from Telerik, they are really good controls, all have built-in AJAX support, and the grid, RadGrid is very good.

Answer 2

Try DevExpress Controls at http://www.devexpress.com/ . They come with a 30 day demo and are certainly some of the best I have used.

Answer 3

try the componentart grid. you will love it.
