Cool, professional (and free!) WPF controls

posted on Monday, May 12, 2008 10:37 AM | Filed Under [ WPF ]

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.

Well, who cares about datagrid with the ListView :D, but the datetimepicker is really useful. I'll double check your link, thans!

Well Alk, for example ListView has no direct support to in-line editing (although you can do it customizing the CellTemplate)
