Silverlight data grid extensions

Data Grid Ex Support two new events

  • Commit (An event that indicates that a selection is complete and has been made, effectively commit action.)
  • Cancel (An event that indicates that the selection operation has been canceled)

Also supports single row double click.

Event Commit will be raise if user double click on row or press enter while row is selected where as event Cancel is fired if user click on Esc button.
