FarPoint Spread for Web Forms, developed by FarPoint Technologies, Inc., is a commercial ASP.NET control that lets developers embed an Excel-like spreadsheet and rich data grid directly into Web Forms applications. It combines a familiar, interactive UI with robust data binding and a powerful calculation engine, so users can view, edit, analyze, and print tabular data in the browser with minimal custom code.
Key capabilities:
- Spreadsheet UI: Multiple sheets, frozen rows/columns, cell merging, row/column resizing, and extensive cell formatting.
- Rich cell types: Text, numeric, date/time, checkbox, combo box, hyperlink, and button cells, with configurable editors and validation.
- Calculations and formulas: Excel-style formulas, cross-sheet references, named ranges, and a large set of built-in functions.
- Data binding: Connects to ADO.NET data sources (DataSet, DataTable, etc.) and custom collections for two-way data interaction.
- Import/export: Read and write common formats such as Microsoft Excel and CSV; supports printing from the server.
- Interactivity: Sorting, filtering, conditional formatting, clipboard support, and undo/redo.
- Client/server API: Server-side object model with client-side scripting and AJAX callbacks for responsive updates.
- Visual Studio integration: Design-time configuration, property editors, and templates to speed up UI development.
- Security and governance: Cell and sheet protection, locking, and permission controls.
- Theming and localization: CSS-based styling and globalization-ready formatting for regional settings.
Typical uses include budget and planning tools, data entry forms, scheduling interfaces, reporting dashboards, and “what-if” analysis—all within standard ASP.NET Web Forms projects.
