Why WPF UI Projects Stall (and How to Fix It)
Every .NET developer has faced this: you start a WPF project, wire up some basic controls, and suddenly the requirements explode—grouping, filtering, real-time updates, custom cell templates, you name it. DIY controls or open-source grids seem tempting until you’re knee-deep in edge cases and performance bottlenecks.
For teams building data-intensive WPF apps think finance, healthcare, or government the right DataGrid isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between shipping on time and endless refactoring.
