ProDataGrid for Avalonia

ProDataGrid is a high-performance, feature-rich DataGrid control for Avalonia. It is a hard fork of the in-box Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid, tuned for stronger scrolling, richer selection, and model-driven data operations while staying API compatible where it matters.

Getting Started

Install

dotnet add package ProDataGrid

<PackageReference Include="ProDataGrid" Version="..." />

Add Themes in App.axaml

Include the ProDataGrid theme styles so the templates are available application-wide.

<Application.Styles>
  <FluentTheme />
  <StyleInclude Source="avares://Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid/Themes/Fluent.v2.xaml" />
</Application.Styles>

Basic Usage

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding People}"
          AutoGenerateColumns="False"
          UseLogicalScrollable="True">
  <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Id" Binding="{Binding Id}" Width="60" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}" Width="*" />
    <DataGridCheckBoxColumn Header="Active" Binding="{Binding IsActive}" Width="80" />
  </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

Sample App

Run the sample gallery to explore features and configuration patterns:

dotnet run --project src/DataGridSample/DataGridSample.csproj

Core Concepts

  • Models: SelectionModel, SortingModel, FilteringModel, SearchModel, and HierarchicalModel keep UI state explicit and easy to integrate.
  • Collection view: DataGridCollectionView provides sorting, filtering, grouping, paging, and currency over any IEnumerable.
  • Templates: v2 themes switch to a ScrollViewer + ILogicalScrollable pipeline for smoother scrolling and better scroll chaining.
