The API and form designer tools of the Elegant Grid are specially designed to follow the standard approaches used in Windows Forms. This allows you to easily start your development. The grid architecture is developed with specific focus on extensibility issues. We hope that along with an extensive list of features you will get a powerful and affordable set of components for creating professional .NET applications.
