General Features

Essential Grouping allows you to group your data, access filtered results and have summary information without the overhead of graphical display code. The Grouping Engine extracts all the data manipulation so it just handles the data, and gives you ways to access the results for your needs.

• DataSources supported: Any IList whose objects have public properties
• Automatic updates: For any IBindingList data source – immediately reflects changes in data
• Internal data structures: Uses balanced binary trees – updates only take 0[Log2[n]] operations
• Flat Grouping: Group flat data structures
• Hierarchical Grouping: Group nested tables

Sorting

Essential Grouping allows you to support multi-key sorting without relying on ADO.NET. It will sort any IList data source.

• Sort: Sort by any property from the IList’s schema
• Comparer Sorting: Customize sorting through IComparer objects
• Multi-key Sorting: Sort by multiple properties from the IList’s schema

Filtering

With Essential Grouping, you may impose filters on your data to easily access only those items that meet your specified criteria.

• Filters: Hide records that match user-defined criteria
• Standard operators: Supports =, !=, <, <+, >, >=, Like, Match
• Custom filters: Customize data filters with virtual callbacks

Summaries

Summaries allow you to easily see statistics on grouped data. You can access information such as the maximum value of columns in every group, or the sum of the items, median value, etc.

• Summaries: Summarize data on a group-by-group basis
• Standard calculations: Sum, Max, Min, Average, Median, Count, DistinctCount, Values array, DistinctValues array
• Custom summaries: Add custom summaries

Expression Fields

Expressions allow for record-oriented calculations, effectively adding a new value to your data collection calculated from the existing values.

• Expression Fields: Add fields calculated from other fields in the same record
• Supports expressions: Use any algebraic combination of other numeric fields
• Use as a standard field: Sort, group, and filter an Expression Field

Additional Noteworthy Features

Eliminate spaghetti code

Large amounts of data can lead to the “spaghetti effect,” a tangled web of information that makes it impossible to see where the data leads, and how it affects other data. Essential Grouping untangles this problem, allowing you to pose straightforward cause and effect questions, compute statistics and filter data, letting you focus on business logic.

Uniquely-optimized implementation

Essential Grouping uses balanced binary trees as its core data structure to provide optimal performance for everything from a simple framework to the most demanding applications. Comparable solutions on the market use array-based structures, which provide less than favorable performance updates and possess severe limitations in their ability to handle custom summaries.

UI-independent

Essential Grouping is free from User-Interface (UI) dependencies. Developers may use the architecture with any UI control or with no control at all. Users are not restricted to the Syncfusion UI controls when working with Essential Grouping. Enjoy the freedom of the .NET framework controls or any other third party control.

Syncfusion Essential Grouping’s source code version comes with full source code. Unlike other components on the market, which offer unsupported source code in a zip file, Syncfusion Essential Grouping offers complete integration of the source code with the product. Syncfusion offers the ability to step into the source code directly from your application with the Assembly Manager technology. Syncfusion offer support and extension hints with reference to the source code.

Support

Syncfusion products come with 60 days or 1 year of support and updates. If you require support for additional periods then please purchase an Annual Subscription Renewal License.
