設計體驗

	拖放編輯 通過Visual Studio 2005/2008的設計界面上的Layout Editor，用戶可以通過拖放而移動，劃分與合并列。
	Smart Tag Wizards Grid FX使用了成熟的，上下文敏感的wizard，故而其絕大部分功能能通過圖形的方式輕松獲得，而并非通過一系列簡單的屬性。
	內模板編輯 Grid FX通過所見即所得的內模板布局，而無需隱藏視圖里的網格，即可格式化顯示選定區域的內容。
	增強型的屬性網格 選擇網格一個項目或者一片區域即可突出屬性網格的相關部位，反之亦然。
	與Visual Studio 2005/2008的集成 Grid FX利用了Visual Studio 2005/2008的可擴展模型，因而較傳統的網格控件相比，極大的減少了開發時間并且縮短了開發者的學習時間。

終端用戶體驗

	FloatingBar（浮動條） 當終端用戶的浮動條停留在一個可編輯的單元格上時，其能進行如下操作：數據復制，分組，排序&篩選，隱藏/顯示列，附加字體選擇，尺寸調整，風格&顏色調整。
	工具條 工具條將各種選項作為一個整體向網格提供，比如調色板選擇，添加一個新的項目或數據，開始/放棄數據突出，開始/停止數據復制。
	數據復制 終端用戶可以通過使用工具條與浮動條復制整個網格的數據，特定數據項或者列。

AJAX數據組織

	分組 通過特定的和/或系列的值組合數據—無論是日期，數字的或者字母的。
	排序 終端用戶可根據數值或者字母的升序或者降序，將數據排列為列或者橫排。
	篩選 通過使用浮動條，用戶可以很便捷的找到某個特定項的附加或者相關數據。
	分頁 Grid FX通過第一頁，最后頁，當前頁與特定也導航，像用戶提供數據的線性分頁。
	數據編輯 終端用戶可通過內置的編輯條或者浮動的模式記錄表格，在網格內進行數據的插入，更新或者刪除，并充分的保證了其安全性與穩健。執行上述操作只需通過工具條（插入），或浮動條（更新與刪除），或雙擊網格（更新），即可通過AJAX技術順利執行。

集成chartFX技術

Grid FX包含了ChartFX功能，能向用戶迅速的提供圖表，數字面板以及計量表。用戶能在網格內及其周圍輕松的添加這些圖形元素。它們能從你的Visual Studio工程文件的網格或者完全獨立的數據源獲取數據。此外，這些元素還能響應諸如點擊，展開以及所有者信息之類的上下文信息。至于其圖形部分，Chart FX能根據網格的設置而進行自動配置-這些設置能使其更快速的完成集成，更輕松的完成圖表數據的同步以及與網格視覺效果相關的其他圖形元素。

Grid FX Features

Everything you'd expect from an enterprise-quality grid component is present in Grid FX. From AJAX to WYSIWYG editing, we went the great lengths to provide the most robust and feature-rich data visualization component on the market.

Design-Time Experience

	Drag and Drop Editing Move, split and stack columns by drag and drop within the Layout Editor on the Visual Studio 2005/2008 design surface.
	Smart Tag Wizards Take advantage of full blown context sensitive wizards where most of the functionality is readily available in a graphical way rather than a simple list of properties.
	In-Place Template Editing Format the display of content through the WYSIWYG template layout of a given area without hiding the grid from view.
	Enhanced Property Grid Selecting an item or area of the grid highlights the relevant section of the Property Grid and vice-versa.
	Integration with Visual Studio 2005/2008 Grid FX takes advantage of the Visual Studio 2005/2008 extensibility model to offer a design-time experience that significantly decreases development time and the learning curve over traditional grid controls.

End-User Experience

	FloatingBar The FloatingBar provides end-users with per item features such as data copying, grouping, sorting & filtering, hide or show columns, plus font selection, size, style & color.
	Toolbar The Toolbar provides options for the grid as a whole such as palette selection, adding a new item or data, on/off of highlighting or copying the data.
	Data Copy End-users may copy data from the entire grid, a specific item or column through the Toolbar and FloatingBar.

AJAX Data Organization

	Grouping Combine items by unique, distinct and/or ranges of values - whether dates (including Outlook-style), numeric or alphabetical.
	Sorting End users can order data in columns or in a hierarchical order of columns by ascending or descending alphabetical or numerical values.
	Filtering From the FloatingBar, conveniently find additional, relevant data to a specific item.
	Paging Grid FX provides linear pagination of data with first, last, next, previous or specific page navigation.
	Data Editing End users may insert, update or delete data within the grid through an in-place edit bar or a floating, modal record form - full security and validation supported. Initiated via the Toolbar (insert) or the FloatingBar (update and delete) or simply double-click (update) on an item and executed smoothly via AJAX.

Integrated Chart FX Technology

Grid FX includes Chart FX capabilities right in-the-box, offering immediate charts, digital panels and gauges. You can add these graphical elements in and around every area of the grid. These elements can feed off of the grid's data or a completely separate data source in your Visual Studio project. In addition, these elements respond to contextual information such as clicks, drilldowns and master-detail. When it comes to visuals, the Chart FX objects are automatically configured based on grid settings which translates to faster integration and less effort synchronizing charts and other graphical elements with the grid's visuals.

Innovative Functionality

	Data Formatting Improving on the "format string", intuitive wizards and APIs were designed for type specific data formatting.
	Sidebars A new area of content added to the edge of your grid AJAX-enabled to display either master details of a selected item or other information relevant to the entire data set.
	Card Layout Create and customize alternate layouts to your columnar grid including template layout editing and tiling.
