Exellent tool that makes using datagrids much easier. Multitude of components and features to enhance any datagrid. Add to this, the best support you can think of with prompt and professional help and you've got a great product. Highly recommended.

This tool is amazing. I never created/adjusted a datagrid faster. The author always was very helpful and supportive. If you have to deal with datagrids than you should give DataGridHelper a try.

DGH is a great companion to DataGrids. Easy to use with a straight forward interface. And the best part, when I did have questions, I got great support. Definitely a good investment.
