In this post, we will cover a control required for every modern line-of-business application: the DataGrid control.
Our WinRT grid control was designed from the ground up, taking into account the unique requirements of the Windows Store. We have highlighted several key features that will help you transform your Windows Store line-of-business applications, taking them to a new level of visualization and interactivity.

You can bind the grid to data in any standard format. As a bonus, you can use the Syncfusion XlsIO library (WinRT edition) to import and export data from Microsoft Excel.
Supports real-time updates
Need to refresh thousands of records every 100 milliseconds? Not a problem. Our DataGrid is optimized for minimum CPU and memory usage.
