Introduction
The right WPF DataGrid can make or break your .NET project. If you’ve dealt with sluggish UIs, missing features, or restrictive licenses, you’re not alone. This guide breaks down how Xceed’s WPF DataGrid—ranked #1 on ComponentSource—delivers the performance, flexibility, and value modern .NET teams need.
Why DataGrid Performance Matters
In data-heavy business apps, UI lag is a dealbreaker. Users expect instant feedback, even with massive datasets. Many grids struggle under real-world loads, costing time and developer trust.
What slows most grids down?
- Synchronous data loading (blocking UI threads)
- Inefficient virtualization (rendering too much at once)
- Limited customization (forcing workarounds)
