# TrueDBGrid For WinForms

## Content

To manage complex data visualization and user interactions in WinForms applications, a robust and flexible component is essential. The **ComponentOne TrueDBGrid** (C1TrueDBGrid) is a classic .NET datagrid control that offers advanced capabilities such as data binding, customizable columns, and fast data-presentation and data-manipulation features. These features include grouping, filtering, printing, exporting, customized navigation, and Excel-like split views.

>type=note
> **Note**: ComponentOne TrueDBGrid is supported with .NET Core and .NET Framework. However, there is no active development of new features for TrueDBGrid such as design-time features for newer versions of Visual Studio. Use TrueDBGrid to develop and maintain existing applications, or to help migrate ActiveX applications using TrueDBGrid Pro 8.0 to .NET. **For new development we recommend using** [ComponentOne FlexGrid](https://developer.mescius.com/componentone/docs/win/online-flexgrid/overview).“
