Grouping: Easily Group your records by a category. For example, you can group your Customer records by Country, State, etc. Your end-users can also dynamically group the records by simply dragging the column headers to the group drop area.

Hierarchies: Easily setup Hierarchical views with data from related tables. For example, setup a hierarchical relationship between a customers and orders table.

Filter Bar: Built-in filter bar lets your end-users filter the displayed records by one or more field values. For example, your end-user can choose to view just the Customers in a specific Country.

Summaries: Summary rows and columns let you easily, declaratively display summary information (like average sales per customer, total sales by region, etc.) to your end users.

Export to Excel: Use the built-in utilities to export the Grid to Excel.

Expression Fields: Expression fields support lets you easily add columns whose values are computed from values in other columns. For example, declare the ''SharesValue'' column to be based on the ''SharePrice'' and ''ShareCount'' columns.

MultiRowRecords: For records with too many fields, you can choose to wrap the record values across multiple rows. You can also easily define such multi-row definitions in your aspx.

Ajax Compatible: All refresh operations like sorting, grouping, etc. happen in Ajax mode using callbacks instead of traditional, ugly, postbacks. You can also host the Grid inside a Ajax UpdatePanel.
