I need to choose a jQuery data grid plugin that plays well with MVC2.
I sit firmly on the client side so know nothing of MVC2 so was wondering if any had any particularly good or bad experiences in MVC2 with either of the following:
Datatables
Flexigrid
jqGrid
The following functions are required:
- Free to use commercially
- Column sorting
- Custom column sorting types (sorting checkboxes checked/unchecked, price ranges)
- Row/Column highlighting
- Pagination
- Filterable grid content via free text input (autocomplete possible) and check boxes
- Multi-column sorting would be nice but not essential
From what i have seen jqGrid looks great but is a paid for solution and possibly overkill for the requirements.
Flexigrid seems to be a bit dead in terms of core development.
I really like Datatables but am struggling to see its compatibility with MVC2. Does anyone have any experience implementing this plugin with MVC2? Or any better recommendations?
Admittedly this is not really a question with a definite answer but any advice greatfully received.
We used datatables w/ MVC2 in our group with great results.
