What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of implementing feature-rich, high-performance data grids in WPF applications using DevExpress components. It eliminates guesswork around API usage, binding patterns, and configuration options that typically cause hallucinations and third-party library dependencies when using AI assistants.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Data Binding: Bind to local collections, Entity Framework Core, XPO, server-mode sources, virtual sources, and ICollectionView with correct import paths and configuration.
• Full Feature Coverage: Master sorting, filtering, grouping, summaries, master-detail layouts, conditional formatting, printing, exporting, drag-and-drop, and layout persistence.
• Production-Ready Patterns: Includes MVVM scaffolding, CRUD operations, validation, editor customization, and performance tuning for datasets up to millions of rows.

Quick Start

Use the devexpress-wpf-data-grid skill to add a fully functional GridControl to your WPF project, bind it to an ObservableCollection of Orders, and configure columns with smart auto-generation and currency formatting for the Freight field.
