This sample application provides an overview of the major features of Xceed DataGrid for Silverlight using a remote data source. It specifically demonstrates how to:

• Create implicit styles that target DataCell and FilterCell
• Create DataTemplates that are used as the cell-content templates for various columns (see CellContentTemplate property)
• Make the grid read-only (see ReadOnly property)
• Prevent columns from being automatically created (see AutoCreateColumns property)
• Manually define columns (see Columns property and Column class)
• Configure various column settings including:
  • Changing the title that is displayed in the column headers (see Title class)
  • Preventing grouping, sorting, and filtering (see AllowGroup, AllowSort, and AllowFilter properties)
  • Changing the width (see Width property)
  • Changing how the cell content is displayed by providing a new DataTemplate (see CellContentTemplate property)
  • Providing a custom group description (see DataGridGroupDescription class) that defines, though its associated group configuration (see DataGridGroupConfiguration class) how the group value is displayed in the group headers (see GroupValueTemplate property)
• Define how the grid is initially sorted (see SortDescriptions property)
• Add an element to the fixed header and fixed footer sections (see FixedHeaders and FixedFooters properties)

• Create an explicit style that targets CellEditor
• Create DataTemplates that are used as the cell-content templates for various columns (see CellContentTemplate property)
• Manually define columns (see Columns property and Column class)
• Add an element to the fixed header and fixed footer sections (see FixedHeaders and FixedFooters properties)
