Essential Grid
Essential Grid for Silverlight includes a very high-performance data-bound GridData control (sometimes referred to as DataGrid), a powerful cell-oriented Grid control and a multicolumn GridTree control. All three grids are full-featured, offer excellent performance (in scrolling and time critical updates), share a powerful styles architecture for controlling cell properties, and also share an extensible cell control architecture that allows the grids to host different controls in their cells.

GridData Control
The GridData control is a very powerful data grid that can bind data to various data sources including WCF RIA services (with ADO.NET Entities, LINQ to SQL, or custom back-end data layers), CollectionViews; data collections like ObservableCollections, List; and any IEnumerable, IList, or IQueryable collections. It provides built-in support for hierarchical viewing, grouping, multicolumn sorting, filtering, summaries, and various data editors. The GridData control, with its unique UI and data virtualization architecture, can provide instant scrolling capabilities, display millions of records, and handle real-time data updates with less CPU usage.

Grid Control
The cell-oriented Grid control is a very efficient display engine for tabular data that can be customized down to the cell level. It does not make any assumptions on the structure of the data. It can be used in a virtual manner where the data is provided on demand in real-time, or it can be used in a manner where the Grid control maintains the data within its own internal structures. The Grid control supports frozen rows and columns; Excel-like formulas; covered cells; various cell control types; copy–paste; both row selections and cell-range selections; hidden rows and columns; and virtually an unlimited number of rows and columns.

GridTree Control
The GridTree control is a grid that displays self-referencing lists in a multicolumn tree format. The data is loaded on demand so that large lists can be quickly displayed. Direct support for a classic-tree look is provided, but you also have the ability to easily customize the look of the tree with special glyphs and icons. Exceptional user performance is possible with thousands of nodes expanded or collapsed instantaneously.
