Hello,

I'm evaluating your asp.net suite for our product. I'm especially interested in WebGrid with its rich features. The learning curve seems quite steep though so I'd appreciate if I could get a few answers here.

1. My application is basically two panels in a splitter, navigation panel and details panel. Based on what is selected in the navigation panel, details panel would load different ASCX controls into an UpdatePanel. Does your grid work well if placed into a user control? Do you have any controls similar to UpdatePanel in functionality, if yes, is it preferable to use them instead?

2. I tried putting your grid into existing application, on the first page load in IE it rendered displaced. After an AJAX postback and UpdatePanel refresh it was placed correctly. Is there a preferable way to define a parent container for the grid so that is doesn't overrun its parent?

3. I noticed that sorting/paging/grouping doesn't trigger usual page events, do you bypass normal page life cycle for these operations. If so, is it safe to use the grid inside an UpdatePanel?

I might have more questions as I'm trying to build a working sample. Thanks for your support in advance. I only have a few days to make a decision about buying your controls suite.
