                            Made with Xara Xtreme 5

and the Advanced DataGrid component below. Both

components are populated by reading XML files. The XML files

can be created by any application such as Microsoft Excel or

Access and the data grid contents can be updated simply by

uploading an updated XML file to the web server.

For example, click on any column heading to sort the data or

column widths can be adjusted by dragging the divider. 

However, the HTML table is a much smaller filesize than the

data grid SWF.

support better data visualisation, aggregation, and formatting.

Its main use is to show a hybrid control in which data is

contained in rows (similar to a DataGrid) but that can display a

hierarchy like a Tree component. The AdvancedDataGrid

can also be used to create summary rows, which are extra

rows that display summary information about the preceding

rows. Additionally, the AdvancedDataGrid offers multicolumn

sorting, which you can use to sort entries in your DataGrid with

different columns as sorting parameters.
