Skeleton loading indicator
The Data Grid helps improve visualization while loading data by showing the Shimmer effect as loading indicator in-between the time of fetching the data from server(service) and binding it to the grid during initial rendering or refreshing or after performing any grid action like sorting, filtering, grouping, and more. The Data Grid offers two types of loading indicator effects: spinner and shimmer.
Adaptive UI layout
The Data Grid user interface is customized and redesigned for great views and usability on small screens. Its features include filter, sort, search, column chooser, column menu, pager dropdown, and edit dialogs that are adaptive to the screen size and render row elements in a vertical direction.
Column
Columns define the schema of the data source in the Data Grid. It supports formatting, auto-generating columns, column definitions, freezing rows and columns, column spanning, text wrapping, column chooser, column menu, and other features.
Paging
Paging is used to view a segment of data from the assigned data source. The ASP.NET Core Data Grid offers a built-in pager UI with options to customize its entire UI. It also has an on-demand paging mode for effective data retrieval from remote web services.
Sorting
Sort rows either in ascending or descending order against a column by simply clicking the header. Sort multiple columns’ data by holding the Ctrl key + header click. In addition, define your own custom sorting logic based on the application needs.
Filtering
Filtering helps view particular or related records that meet a given criteria in the data grid. The data grid supports various filter types, including powerful Excel-like filters. Choose the appropriate filter type, define your own custom filtering logic, and customize the filtering UI based on the application’s needs. Diacritic characters can also be filtered.
Selection
Select rows or cells using the checkbox or by simply clicking them. Select more than one row or cell by holding Ctrl, Shift, or Command, or programmatically.
Editing
The ASP.NET Core Data Grid supports create, read, update, and delete operations (CRUD). In addition to built-in editor controls to edit a particular column value, custom editor controls can be created using templates according to the application’s needs. With the help of a data manager, you can perform editing operations with array collection or remote data service.
Grouping
Group rows to display the data in an organized hierarchical structure in ascending or descending order to facilitate easier expansion and collapse of records. There is an option to group records of the desired column by simple drag and drop of that column in an interactive drop area.
Aggregation
Easily visualize the aggregates of the Data Grid column values using the summary option. Aggregates can be customized to show their value in individual summary rows, individual group summary rows, or group caption rows.
Frozen rows and columns
Frozen rows and columns are visible at the top and on the left, right, both, or fixed position, respectively, making the remaining grid content scrollable. This feature is mainly used to compare cell values.
Sticky header
The ASP.NET Core Data Grid header has to be in a fixed position when scrolling the document vertically to visualize the data grid content along with the column header.
Row drag and drop
The ASP.NET Core Grid allows users to drag and drop rows to another DataGrid or custom component. Users can also drag and drop rows within the same DataGrid using the drag icon and transfer rows between different groups.
Master-detail Grid
ASP.NET Core Master Detail Grid is a use-case scenario in which the record’s details are viewed in a separate data grid by clicking a particular row.
State management
The state management in the ASP.NET Core Data Grid component allows you to maintain the grid’s state even after a browser refresh or when navigating to a different page within the same browser session. This feature is especially beneficial for retaining the grid’s configuration and data following a page reload.
Live update
The DataGrid updates live data in its cells at specific time intervals. These updates occur without causing any lag or slowdown, ensuring that the system remains highly responsive and efficient.
Additional features
Row height
Row height is a major factor when displaying the number of records in the viewport, and it is easily customizable based on the application’s UI requirements. It is also possible to set row height conditionally.
Copy to clipboard
The clipboard allows users to copy data from selected rows or cells into it. The Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Shift+H key combinations copy data with and without headers, respectively.
Context menu
Performs various actions in a Data Grid using the popup menu that appears when the cell, header, or pager is right-clicked. In addition to built-in default menu items, custom context menu items can be added.
Width and height
Set the width and height properties to change the size of the data grid. When the content overflows the grid element, horizontal and vertical scrollbars will appear. To fill the data grid’s parent container, simply set the height and width to 100%.
Stacked headers
Stacked headers allow grouping and visualizing column headers in a stacked manner. The number of columns that can be stacked is unlimited. Perform all Data Grid actions even when the columns are stacked.
Accessibility
Keyboard navigation
The ASP.NET Core Data Grid ensures that every cell is accessible using the keyboard. Major features like sort, select, and edit can be performed using keyboard commands alone; no mouse interaction is required. This helps in creating highly accessible applications using this control.
Screen reader
The ASP.NET Core Data Grid view has complete WAI-ARIA accessibility support. Its UI includes high-contrast visual elements that help visually impaired people to have the best viewing experience. Also, valid UI descriptions are easily accessible through assistive technologies such as screen readers.
Right to left (RTL)
Right-to-left rendering allows displaying the text and layout of the Data Grid from right to left. This improves the user experience and accessibility for RTL languages.
Mobile-optimized and touch-friendly
The Data Grid component improves usability and provides an optimized and responsive design for desktops, touchscreens, and phones across all operating systems, including iOS, Android, and Windows.
Touch support
User-friendly touch gestures and an interactive UI design provide the best user experience. All Data Grid features work on touch devices with zero configuration.
Responsive pager
The Data Grid pager acts intelligently and changes its complete UI responsively based on the dimension. Its optimized design provides the best UI interaction on different devices.
Other supported frameworks
Data Grid is available for the Blazor, React, Angular, JavaScript, Vue, and ASP.NET MVC frameworks. Explore its platform-specific options through the following links:
