Xceed DataGrid for WPF Main Features:

WPF / .NET Technology:

Created entirely for WPF and .NET 3.0, written in C# and XAML. Supports .NET 3.5 as well

Complete source code is available in the Blueprint Edition. (Only available with the Professional Edition.)

True lookless WPF control, 100% stylable and templatable. You can completely change the way the entire control looks and behaves. Create 3D rolodex, carousel, timeline views, etc.

Supports UI virtualization, even when grouping data, so only elements currently in view are created and kept, meaning faster loading time, uses less memory.

Design-time support in Visual Studio 2008. (New in version 1.3)

XBAP-friendly, CLS compliant, and uses no unsafe blocks. No special permissions are required, so it can run within the limited permission set granted to XBAP applications.

Based on a flexible and extensible object model, with modular and reusable visual elements.

The datagrid's cells are true WPF content controls, so they can contain anything.

Supports the WPF command infrastructure, for example letting you map a toolbar button to "enter edit" in a cell.

Comprehensive documentation fully integrated into Visual Studio .NET is provided.

Supports Right-To-Left and Inking.

Supports regional settings including numbers, money type, dates, etc.

Includes a variety of VB.NET and C# sample applications to get you started.

All error handling works through .NET exception classes.

Can also be used in your Windows Forms applications.

Views and themes

Presents data and lets users edit it in any 2D or 3D layout you can imagine.

Ships with two 2D views (traditional table view and card view). Achieve the look of traditional XP or Vista applications with a true native WPF control.

Ships with all Microsoft Windows themes: Classic (NT), Luna (XP), Aero (Vista), and Royale (Media Center).

Project template for Visual Studio that sets up a new theme project so you can create your own. A tutorial on creating a custom theme is also included to help you get started. (VB.NET template new in version 1.3)

Office 2007 and Windows Media Player 11 themes. (New in version 1.1; only available in the Professional Edition.)

New Zune theme. (New in version 1.2)

New Glass theme, which allows for quick and easy branding of the datagrid: insert custom bitmaps while overlaying a glass effect containing the grid’s user interface elements.(New in version 1.2; only available in the Professional Edition.)

Includes the commented XAML source code to the card and table view styles and templates, so you have a great starting point for developing your own.

Rich in-place editing

Features rich in-place editing that works in all views.

Provides configurable keyboard and mouse edit commands.

Programmatic control over edit mode. (New in version 1.2.)

Provides Excel-like default keyboard and mouse edit behavior, including F2, Esc (cancel edit on a cell and restore the original value), Double-Esc (cancel edit on the entire row and restore the original values), and Enter.

Allows you to specify a different visual template for a cell being edited.

Cell editors can be displayed without entering edit mode, under a variety of conditions such as a mouse hover over the cell or row, the cell or row becoming current, the row being edited, or always.

Single-click edit mode allows entering edit mode and activating items such as check, text, and combo boxes with one click.

Automatically selects the appropriate editor control depending on the field data type.

Insertion row / card object allows for quick entry of new data.

Includes a rich DatePicker / Calendar control.

Triggers meaningful edit events for both rows and cells.

Manages “null” and “DbNull” values.

Any portion of the grid can be made read-only.

Data grouping

Supports hierarchical, multi-level grouping in all views.

Customizable group-level configurations with header and footer support. (New in version 1.2)

Supports UI virtualization, preserving memory and reducing load time, even when grouping.

Supports custom grouping criteria, to allow your code to group together rows with your own conditions.

Interactive, hierarchical “Group-by” row allows end-users to easily create and manipulate groups themselves. Adapted for all included views.

Programmatic control over expanding and collapsing groups. (New in version 1.2)

Grouping can be controlled via code.

Input validation

Includes built-in data validation, at the cell or row level.

Error display is integrated with the included views.

You can completely style the way a cell or row looks when a validation error occurs.

Can validate on any criteria, including the values of other cells.

Validation error messages are overridable and localizable.

Expandable and compatible with custom validation rules you have already built.

Card view Features

Defaults to cards stacked into columns, with horizontal scrolling.

Two types of card view styles are included: compact card view (borderless cards with column separator lines) and standard card view (cards with borders, but no separator lines).

Supports grouping with multiple levels. Group-by row includes built-in list of columns, so end-users can still group by columns and reorder fields even if there are no column headers. Group headers flow within the card list.

Cards can be independently sized, each card sizing itself to its content.

Resizable cards in CardView. (New in version 1.2)

Allows you to hide empty fields on a per-card basis.

Insertion card lets users quickly add new data to the grid.

Table view Features

Fixed columns. (New in version 1.1; only available in the Professional Edition.)

Includes an Outlook-style table view with all the typical elements you would expect.

Column headers support drag-and-drop column reordering, column resizing, click-to-sort, and dragging to "Group-by" row.

Row margin selects and resizes rows, and displays icons indicating that the row is current, is being edited, is an insertion, or has a validation error.

Provides horizontal and vertical Grid line brush and grid line thickness properties.

Automatically changes a row’s height to fit the contents of the largest cell.

Other features

Data binding and unbound support
