Essential Grid for ASP.NET MVC is a light-weight, AJAX-enabled, high-performance grid component built especially to suit the programming model of the ASP.NET MVC framework. It has a rich feature set that includes grouping, sorting, paging, data-binding, editing, filtering and several built-in styles.
Essential Grid is designed for performance and can easily handle millions of records. AJAX is extensively used to reduce traffic–only the required data is sent between the client and server, minimizing data transfer and response time.
