Different XML formats

The default xml format has the following tags: <rows> as a top, <row> to define rows and <cell> to set cells inside specified row. But tag names can be changed like in the sample presented below.

Grid supports two additional XML formats, which are based on column IDs:

"xmlA" format Reload grid from xml file in xmlA format

"xmlB" format Reload grid from xml file in xmlB format
