A deep dive into how to easily display data exactly the way you want when DataGrid is not up to the task
The WPF DataGrid provides a lot of functionalities, but also has many limitations and a very steep learning curve. Writing your own code to display data in rows and columns is surprisingly easy, taking only a few dozens of code lines. So if you ever encounter problems with the DataGrid or don't want to spend days learning how to format it, consider replacing it with your own code. In the past, I wrote a whole article (rating: 4.9 stars) just about how to do formatting with a DataGrid. It's a major headache.
