.NET Grid Controls
-
Anyone know of a reasonably fast grid control for .NET - e.g. something like Stingray for MFC. It just seems that the one thing .NET does badly is good performance on grid controls, or anything thats graphics intensive. Some of them look great, but put more than 50 rows and they crawl when you scroll. Looking for something that is responsive enought to handle realtime data - not huge amounts of it but to be responsive when it does get it. From what I can tell the double buffred drawing built into the Windows Forms Control is not as optimised as it could be.

www.Infragistics.com[^] has an excellent deal. John

Developer Express[^] has a good one, too. I've used Infragistics and I can tell you from experience that it is good, but their painting mechanism (very extensible) can be very slow on older machines.

Syncfusion www.syncfusion.com[^] has a great grid called "Essential Grid". It is developed by Stefan Hoenig, the man who build before the Stingray grid. It offers a "virtual mode" that can handle millions of rows. I like it! Regards, Holger Persch
