    This is a followup to https://www.grapecity.com/forums/winforms-edition/saving-c1flexgrid-to-excel: C1FlexGrid styles and columns designers are not supported in .NET 6 due to changes.

    The .NET 6 column editor of C1FlexGrid does not work at all for me.

    See attached sample: Flex6ColumnEditor.zip

    a) adding is column is not possible through the property editor - I can add it, but it is ignored. It works if the property “Cols.Count” is set before - then a new blank column is created and I can modify it. So that is a minor issue as a workaround exists.

    b) modifying the caption of an existing column is not possible - it is discarded:

    And in my sample app, the fixed header row is not rendered.

    This is a major blocker. We actually planned to upgrade our application to .NET6 this summer, so I hope a workaround exists.

    Is it possible to create a .NET6 application and use the .NET framework 4.5.2 version of C1 dlls?

    Best regards

    Hi Wolfgang,

    The issue with the column collection editor is already reported to the development team. The fix for this issue will be available in the upcoming 2022v2 release. The 2022v2 release will be available for download around the end of July.

    Also, we do not recommend using .NET 4.5.2 C1 controls in a .NET 6 application as the designers of these controls are not supported in a .NET 6 application. Also, using both the .NET 4.5.2 as well as .NET 6 C1 controls in a project can lead to conflicts between the C1 assemblies.

    Thanks, I can confirm that those two problems are fixed.

    About the header row being not rendered (and the caption being discarded): in my sample, I had set “Rows.Fixed = 0” at design time (and don’t know why ;-)), this was the reason for those problems.

    Best regards

    Hi Wolfgang,

    Thanks for the confirmation. I did notice the “Rows.Fixed = 0” problem with your sample at that time, but I think I forgot to mention that here :frowning:

    Apologies from my side.

    Best Regards,

    Kartik
