DataType Grid is basically a DataType that allows you to store DataTypes in a grid-like fashion.
Think Excel, but with other Datatypes instead of textboxes.

@yannicks Razor example is up now.
I will add an option to disable header and footer in the next version.

would be nice to have a option to disable the header and footer, so it looks more like the Textstring Array datatype.

Also could somebody post a razor example?

just tried it with DAMP and it didn't work
it does also seem to do a funny thing with anything that resizes the edit box (such as DAMP) in that it seems to be styled anchored to the bottom of the page and when the edit box expands the box extends over the bottom of the page and can't be moved and you can't get to the edit box anymore (only tested in chrome 15)
also tried it with uComponentes : Multiple Texstring and that has several failures including the expanding text box problem plus each time you hit return it adds three new text boxes and remove asks you to ok twice but does not remove them

Cool! suggestions you're probably already working on:
- For node picker'd items: Show Node Name +path or info bubble.
- Look at layout of 'checkbox' with long labels, keep up the good work.

Yes, now it works fine, after the v2.2 Beta 3 release from Lee. Have a look on that http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/releases/view/70364

Hello, anyone managed to make the DataType Grid to work? I am experiencing the same problem with pzAsif, any news about that..?
Cheers

@pzAsif - To get Data Type Grid you need to install 2.2 beta from http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/releases/view/64229

Thank you for the excellent work on this package, have been using this a lot. I have just installed the latest version of uComponents but the DataType Grid does not appear in the render control drop down when creating a new data type. Has this not been released in this version or am i doing something wrong ? I have put this on a site which is built using Umb 4.7 (clean, no upgrade) I did however have an older version of uComponents installed, so i uninstalled it and then installed the new version.

Help is much appreciated

Looking forward to this one, but I would really like for it to be "themed" more neturally (ie not so blueish). I'm afraid this would feel to foreign for the editors.

Wow, this would be perfect for so many of the things i have had to do as either components in a separate folder list or as inherited items when I don't want them to be linked to. One thing I find clients wanting are slideshows and having to create a way to have them make slides of different types that go into the primary show is such a hassle. This will definitely make my life easier :D
