Starting with 2011 Volume 2 of Ultimate UI for Windows Forms, users can interact with the User Interface (UI) of the application while the export process is executing. This capability, supported by all WinGrid™ export components (WinGridDocumentExporter™, WinGridExcelExporter™, and WinGridWordWriter™) is achieved through exporting the grid asynchronously.
Support for asynchronous exporting means you can keep your application responsive during the export and provide even more productivity to the user.
