New Virto DataGrid web part for Microsoft SharePoint 2007, presented today by Virtosoftware, provides users with a wide range of tools for displaying items SharePoint list and SQL items in a single grid view. With the new easy-to-install and simple-to-use web part users do not need to work with SharePoint Designer to make custom grids anymore.

Virto DataGrid is a ready-to-use Ajax-enabled JavaScript control that displays items from SharePoint lists (from a site or a site collection) or SQL items in a single grid. The web part enables displaying of any field from a list or a table, allowing for flexible ordering, sorting and resizing with drag & drop, supporting sub grids (2-nested level) and SharePoint Access Level, that prevents users with, for instance, “read only” rights for a specific list from editing the list date through the grid.

With the new Virto Ajax-based control SharePoint users get a plenty of interface-related features that make the work with data items effective and convenient. In addition to complex filtering, search as well as default and custom CSS themes you can easily change column order, resize column and the web part width, collapse and expand the grid, display and hide column footers, edit data and add new items with a few clicks.
