In search of a grid for ASP.NET MVC [closed]

Question

I'm searching for a robust lightweight grid for ASP.NET MVC. I'd rather not write a grid, if someone else has done it,but I have yet to find a decent grid. It should be 508 compliant and for the most part, 508 compliance eliminates all the JavaScript grids.

• It has to be easy to use.
• Not too expensive ( a couple hundred dollars )

I've already reviewed the following grids:

• Ext Js
• MvcContrib
• jQueryGrid

Update

I found a javascript grid that performs the magic I am looking for yet, maintains 508 compatibility.

It's a jQuery plugin called Datatables. It takes a preexisting table on the page and gives it sortablity and search features. Other grids would either render the table themselves or make ajax requests to the server.

The Yahoo YUI Library DataTable control supports "progressive enhancement". You output a standard HTML table. This displays just fine on browsers with JavaScript disabled. On browsers that do support JavaScript, the table replaced with an enhanced version that can support client-side sorting and other presumably other fancy things (I've only ever used it to enable sorting).

I just came across this article detailing the use of jQuery Grid with ASP.NET MVC. It's a great overall strategy for dealing with the grid, it even details even the more difficult filtering capability of jQuery Grid!
