What Changed
In v21.2.6, we officially introduced our new Blazor Grid component. We also moved the older Data Grid component to maintenance mode. No new features/capabilities will be added to the Data Grid. We will continue to fix critical bugs and process support tickets for this component.
We updated our DevExpress project templates to replace the Data Grid with the Grid. In our Blazor demos and documentation, we moved the Data Grid to the Maintenance section as well.
Reasons for Change
In v21.1, we introduced a new Blazor Grid component as a Community Technology Preview (CTP). We planned to fully replace the existing Data Grid component. For more information about reasons for this change, refer to the following blog post: A New Blazor Grid Control (Preview).
The v21.2.6 update marks the official release of our Blazor Grid. The Data Grid component was moved to maintenance mode.
Impact on Existing Apps
Your applications that contain the Data Grid will work and compile without changes, but we recommend that you migrate to the Grid for a long-term perspective.
How to Update Existing Apps
For a detailed migration guide and feature comparison between two Grid components, refer to the following help topic: Migrate from Data Grid to Grid.
