Today I saw a post of a friend of mine about WPF lacking some of the controls we used to have in Windows Forms (who said DateTimePicker? or was it DataGrid?). Indeed, there are many Open Source project to fill the gap, like AvalonControlsLibrary or WPF Toolbelt, but beside that, Xceed has an excellent DataGrid (although not so straightforward to use) which has a free express edition that can be used even in commercial apps.
The cool thing is that the package includes a bunch of other useful controls, like a DateTimePicker, a MaskedEditTextbox, and so on, that can be obviously used on their own. Moreover, everything is well documented and with many samples.
Uh... I was almost forgetting, I'm not related in any way to Xceed Software, it's simply what I think could be a good advice.
