Spread for Web Forms Features

As you've come to expect from a FarPoint Spread product, Spread for Web Forms offers excellent design time support for rapid development using our innovative Spread Designer and supports in-cell editing and validation. You have complete customization at the cell level, not only with rows and columns, and you can edit multiple rows without requiring a postback. You can apply styles at the table, row, column and cell level and offer customized views. Spread supports paging, cells spanning, multiple line headers, sorting, a rich set of cell types and many other features. View some of these features below.

Hierarchy
Display multiple levels of data because datasets are getting deeper.
More Than 200 Built-in Functions

Insert and Edit
Allow or prohibit users from inserting and editing data in columns, rows, or cells.
Custom Messages
Display custom error messages when invalid data has been entered (for example, entering text into a date-time cell).
Command Bar
A button bar provides an easy and intuitive way for your users to edit, delete, and insert data, control sheet navigation, and control paging.
Page Navigation
Customize the navigation of multiple pages of data by displaying page numbers, next and previous arrows, or both. It can be positioned on the top and/or bottom of Spread or on the Command Bar.
Sheets
Each control can contain multiple sheets, similar to Microsoft Excel, allowing you to organize your information on one convenient screen.
Binding

Unbound
Use in unbound mode to populate columns, rows, and cells using your own data and custom formatting.
Text Tips

Multiple Data Changes
Allow multiple data changes, even on multiple rows, without a having to round trip to the server to save your changes.
Client-Side Data Validation
Client-side data validation reduces unnecessary round trips to the server by validating the entered data on the client side before it gets posted back.
Named Appearance Styles
Create Named Styles to define a certain style (for example; fonts, colors, cell types, etc.) and share the style with other cells. This greatly reduces the coding and allows you to easily modify the master style and it will update all related styles accordingly
Predefined and Custom Skins
Easily and quickly configure the appearance of Spread using predefined skins or create and save your own custom skins. Custom skins can easily be shared with everyone in your development team, allowing a consistent look of the control across multiple pages and applications.
Sort
Automatically sort any column in ascending or descending order by double clicking on the header.
Client Scripting
Create a rich user experience for your users using the client scripting, allowing the editing of values without having to round trip to the server, as well as many other user-friendly benefits.
HTML tables
Use Spread as a replacement for HTML tables, giving you full access to Spreads' advanced formatting options.
Customization
Customize the gridlines, odd/even row colors, colors of the selected item, and cell spacing.
Objects
You have complete control over the design of Spread by using the Sheet, Row, Column and Cell objects.
Spans
Add spans to headers, rows, columns or cells.
Multiple Headers
Add multiple rows and columns to the headers.
Cell Customization
Complete customization at the cell level, including setting cell types, tags, alignment, borders, colors, font and margins.
Spread Designer
Use the Spread Designer to reduce development time by allowing you to fully customize the look and feel of the control at design time using an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
Multiple Browsers
Unlike other grids, we recognize the possibility that not every one of your users will be using MS Windows Internet Explorer 6.0. We have done extensive testing with other browsers and versions and, when possible, have added support for these as well. Try that with your current grid!
