The work is really at end and we hope to have beta in the middle of March.

Thanks for the patience.

Best Regards

Please, excuse us for the inconvenience.

I am happy to announce that we have major updates to our ASP.NET WebForms component, including the much requested

- client-side validation 

- server-side validation

- predefined formatters

- custom formatters 

You can find detailed code examples for each of these features in our online demo

http://www.trirand.net/demo.aspx

In the "Functionality/Misc" section (for formatters) and in the “Edit, Add, Delete” section (for validation).

Please, let us know what you think.

MVC development is well under way and we are expecting a beta end of November. We are using best practices from the MVC world, so this is going to be a completely different server-side story from our WebForms components. Nevertheless, we will keep the API naming conventions the same, where possible.

Good news is that it is going to use the very same excellent jqGrid client-side code without any changes.

We are also working on an ASP.NET MVC version (and we are advancing fast there too, so good news there too).

  i would need server side validation, too. Can you advice me how can i solve it, or can you tell me when do you think you can implement this feature (to be able to do server side validation and get back data to the edit form) ?

Hello , I have downloaded the jqGrid for ASP.NET .

While I was trying to create a Hierarchy scenario (Sub Grid (2 nestes levels)) , I attempted to do it as the demo says and tried to add the (HierarchySettings) property for the grids.This however is not working for me as the project wont compile and the error is the following

(Type 'Trirand.Web.UI.WebControls.JQGrid' does not have a property named 'HierarchySettings').

Yes, server-side paging is done automatically. You can also manually control paging though the JQGrid.PagerSettings collection, where you have available options CurrentPage, PageSize and many others to customize that.

Will this fit into your scenario? Can we add something else that you need?

Is server side paging supported.

In MVC? ViewModel approach? What is the best to complement the HtmlHelper.

Against, thanks for the feedback - we definitely appreciate that.

Hello,

I just like to introduce myself first, my name is Rumen Stankov and me and my team are now working with Tony on jqGrid and the ASP.NET part of it in particular. 

The question you have is excellent. We started with ASP.NET Webforms since the component model there is established and mature and there are even many commercial vendors in this field. ASP.NET MVC land is still unclear though, so I would like to see you feedback on this. What I've seen is that most people use HtmlHelper. Is this something you would use? We definitely have some experiments with it and are ready to publish our results within a week or so on the trirand.net web site.

NHibernate, LLBLGen, SubSonic – yes, we intend to provide samples for that very soon for both ASP.NET WebForms and ASP.NET MVC, that a great idea.

Finally, we are glad that commercial grade support and responsiveness is something that you like. We do understand how important it is to have someone to rely on and while jqGrid is probably one of the best plugins out there, it is virtually impossible to answer so many questions while working on other full-time projects in your day-to-day job.

Hi Rumen, thanks for your feedback. Yes HtmlHelper is definately used a great deal and would imaging the right way to go in terms of adding extensions and/or support.

We actually use jqGrid together with ASP.NET MVC and love it a lot. We created a Viewmodel class that wraps most parameters that we are using. As we proceed more features of the grid are added to the viewmodel. t's pretty cool actually since it feels as if we get to combine the best of both worlds. The power of jqGrid and the some kind of typesafety.

Can you share your ViewModel with the group, I am curious to see what properties you support and how you tie that in with the client-side code.

Renso.

Congratulations for you great controls.
This release does not support rtl (right to left) direction. For example resizing of grid columns does not work in rtl mode. When do you will support rtl languages such as Arabic and Persian?

Will be happy to provide feedback, especially since we have so much invested in jqGrid in our web-based CRM solution. I ocaasionally also post some code samples of how we get some custom stuff to work and know it will add value to the community. Looking forward to the Mvc suported rollout.
