Remarks

IMPORTANT

Bootstrap Controls for ASP.NET Core are in maintenance mode. We don’t add new controls or develop new functionality for this product line. Our recommendation is to use the ASP.NET Core Controls suite.

Some operations (e.g., editing and grouping) require a key field to be specified. Use the KeyFieldName method for this purpose.
