Hello,

I would like to buy a third party grid and a reporting component for by Visual Basic applications.

I need a grid component which supports the following features-
1. Bound/Unbound Mode
2. Layout Saving
3. Hierarchical Presentation
4. Grouping/Sorting
5. Customizable columns to include user defined values

And a reporting component which supports the following features-
1. Bound/Unbound Mode
2. Grouping
3. Graph/Chart
4. Export to external formats
5. Custom scripting
6. Drill down

Through I have come across a few of them-

GRID COMPONENT:
1> ComponentOne Grid (ComponentOne)
2> Sharp Grid (Data Dynamics)
3> Janus Grid (Janusys)

REPORTING COMPONENT:
1> Crystal Reports (Seagate)
2> Active Reports (Data Dynamics)

I would like to gather your experience and suggestions on the same.

Thanx,

Mandark.

Infragistics UltraGrid (and related) controls (they meet your
requirements). Infragistics is a relatively stable company (so
they wont disappear on you in the middle of your product's
life cycle).
