FarPoint Has Released Their Spread Control for SharePoint
Years ago, and I mean years ago... I used the FarPoint Spread control in a financial application I developed. The control worked fantastic back then and it has only become better over time. I wish I could say that about the company I owned at the time; but thats another story!
My friends at FarPoint have announced the release of their FarPoint Sread for SharePoint. I can't claim I know a lot about this Web Part yet; though I have received a fairly in-depth demonstration and I saw it again at Tech Ed (in Orlando). Instead of my writing about al the features this Web Part has, you can just read them on their site.
When I received a demonstration of the product, the first thing that came to mind was a replacement for the Data Sheet View in SharePoint; you know, the one that works great and everyone loves when it working! If you are tired of trying to figure out why the Data Sheet View doesn't work in your environment, give this Web Part a try; it has a fantastic spreadsheet-like UI. And a bazillion other features...
FarPoint is currently offering a $300 discount off the standard edition so pick up a copy; I am not sure how long the discount will last!
And, if you have a chance to give it a try, drop me a note and let me know how the experience goes; I am certain our readers would be interested...
