Janus GridEX

This weeks entry is a simple advert for a very good grid control for .NET - it looks good, works well, and is nice and flexible.

The group and sort features are neat and efficient. If asked to find improvements we'd be looking for a simpler set of configuration storage functions - the whole lot can be read/written to a file, but often you just want to store column widths, order, sort, filter, group - those sorts of things - and to the same file as the rest of the application.

But all in all it is a huge leap forwards over the .NET datagrid, and by all accounts should be ahead of the 2.0 "new and improved" grid.
