DataGrid

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

The DataGrid control provides a flexible way to display a collection of data in rows and columns. The built-in column types include a text column, a check box column, and a template column for hosting custom content. The built-in row type includes a drop-down details section that you can use to display additional content below the cell values.

The DataGrid control supports common table formatting options, such as alternating row backgrounds and the ability to show or hide headers, grid lines, and scroll bars. Additionally, the control provides several style and template properties that you can use to completely change the appearance of the control and its rows, columns, cells, and row or column headers.

The topics in this section describe the additional concepts and techniques that you can use to build DataGrid control features into your applications.
