Migration gaps from WPF/WCT DataGrid to WinUI.TableView

[w-ahmad]

Hi everyone,

I’ve added a new documentation page that compares built-in DataGrid features across:

• WPF DataGrid
• Windows Community Toolkit DataGrid
• WinUI.TableView

The goal of this document is to help developers who are migrating WPF or UWP applications to WinUI quickly understand which DataGrid features are already available in WinUI.TableView, which ones have partial support, and which ones are not currently built in.

You can find the comparison here:

https://w-ahmad.dev/WinUI.TableView/docs/datagrid-feature-comparison.html

This comparison is focused on built-in or first-class features. Some features marked as missing may still be possible with custom code, templates, styles, or app-level logic.

I’m opening this discussion so the community can help improve the comparison and share real migration scenarios.

Feedback is welcome on:

• missing or incorrect feature entries
• WPF DataGrid features that are important during migration
• WCT DataGrid features that should be considered
• areas where WinUI.TableView should provide better built-in support
• API suggestions for missing features
• real-world migration blockers

WinUI.TableView is actively maintained and new features are being added based on real usage. If there is a missing feature that matters for your app, please share your scenario here or consider opening an issue or contributing a PR.

Thanks!
