Horizontal or Vertical Display: Display the records horizontally so that the records move forward left to right instead of top to bottom.

Multi-Dimensional display: Display the records both horizontally and vertically so that you have multiple records displayed for each row in the DataGrid.

Open architecture for embedded controls: OpenGrid has an open architecture for embedding components so that you can seamlessly integrate with other 3rd party controls. Assign any data-bindable Windows Forms control within the grid. Embed any of the wide variety of publicly available .NET controls such as Developers Express and Infragistics controls.

Advantages of OpenGrid over a tabular grid:
There are significant advantages of using OpenGrid over using a standard grid to present and edit the data records: The DataGrid is very limited in the number of fields it can simultaneously display, as fields are concatenated to the right of the previous column and may not be in the visible range. The user will have a difficult time seeing all the relevant data without being forced to scroll the data into view.  The OpenGrid allows you ample screen real estate to present the data. You are not limited to a single row but instead have an entire rectangular region to arrange your controls.  In addition, the OpenGrid has an open architecture for embedding components so that you can seamlessly integrate with other 3rd party controls.
 
Master/Detail display: Display master and detail information for each record in the grid. For instance, you can use a DataGrid control to display the details for a single record, and have the DataGrid appear for all the other records with their detail information.

WYSIWYG: True design-time WYSIWYG for defining the grid layout. Simply configure the record layout by dragging and dropping components into the OpenGrid. During runtime, the appearance of each record is automatically duplicated.

Background texture tiling: Supports background tiling for a professional transparent look.
 
Includes Data-bindable PictureBox Control: OpenGrid includes a PictureBox control that can be binded directly to a database blob field.
 
Custom painting: Custom painting for each embedded control.
