Windows Forms
Essential Grid
-
We reworked the design-time experience for the cell-oriented grid. A popup form
lets you edit cell-contents outside the VS IDE.
-
The grid now has support for serialization to XML and you read back the grid
from XML with all its properties, options, cell contents and base styles.
-
At design-time you can now specify whether you want to save cell-contents into
code or if you want to write them into a Resx file.
