What are some good WPF grid controls?

Question

We use a grid control from Infragistics at work. Are there others? Pay or free?

Answer 1

I started out using the Infragistics control also which is great and is very powerful, but it's difficult to use because it's features are so extensive. I feel the same way about ComponentOne. I've switched over to the DataGrid CPT from Microsoft, and I've had a lot of success with it. Obviosly it's not as feature rich at this point as other 3rd part controls, but overall I'ts really good.

Answer 2

Telerik usually are a good bet : RadGrid

Answer 3

I'd second Telerik, which is what MS used for office, IIRC. I don't know if they have gone WPF though, but they have a good track record. I am also a fan of DevExpress, and their support is great, but the wpf grid is still in beta. The regular one is great, though. Both of them are pay, though, but worth it.

I have never found a good free grid. Guess they are just too hard to write. With how... fun... wpf is, I doubt there will ever be a good free one.

Answer 4

Xceed also have a [DataGrid for WPF][1]. It's reasonable and has a good set of features.

Answer 5

Free DataGrid(.NET3.5 SP1) is at CodePlex

Please see the answers in this Threads talking about DataGrid.

• Is DataGrid a necessity in WPF?
• What WPF Datagrid controls are worth the money and/or effort?
• What is the best free datagrid for WPF?

Answer 6

Try the XCeed Grid (http://xceed.com/Grid_WPF_Demo.html). It also has a good demo page where you can see its capabilities.

Answer 7

We use Xceed's 3.0 DataGrid (pro version..but free version is excellent) more extensively than probably anybody. It has the flexibility to handle more things than the other grids.. in my opinion of course.

Try them all, there are limitations to each.

Answer 8

Xceed just has a datagrid component correct. Does it have other wpf tools such as text box masking or docking panels like the other third parties?

Answer 9

Xceed Grid is very worst in the support. After Purchasing license, their support is worst. Dont go for the Xceed Grid.
