Xceed has released a new update for their Datagrid for WPF product.  3.2 was released back in June,
and here comes 3.5. What’s new in this release?

Xceed DataGrid for WPF Professional Edition v3.5 features a beautiful new view called Tableflow™.
This view offers fast animated smooth scrolling with inertia for impressive UI performance (works with
data virtualization), sticky group headers and master-detail master row and headers, full-column
animated drag and drop reordering. Also new is filtering and status indicator glyphs for datagrids
bound to a virtualizing collection.

So in addition to the new features, below is a list of other fixes.

• The DataGridVirtualizingQueryableCollectionView now fully supports the FilterRow and the automatic filtering features.
• Added a ConnectionStateGlyph property that shows asynchronous activity when fetching virtualized data.
• Added a ConnectionState and ConnectionError property on the DataGridControl and DataGridVirtualizingCollectionViewBase.
• Added an IsConnectionStateGlyphEnabled property on UIViewBase.
• Corrected an issue where FilterCriterion were lost when the data source was changed.
• DataGridUnboundItemProperty corresponding cells are now refreshed when the DataGridUpdateSourceTrigger is set to CellContentChanged.
• Corrected an issue where a LicenseException was thrown when after a DataGridItemProperty was cloned.
• Corrected an issue where not all appropriate property values were cloned when a DataGridItemProperty was cloned.
• Corrected an issue where the first row inserted into an empty list remained in an invalid state.
• Filters are now kept when collapsing the detail’s parent row.
• FilterRow now supports filtering by empty strings.
• Removed a reference to System.Data.Linq that prevented the DataGridControl from being distributed on .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client Profile.
• Corrected an issue where the edit state was not correctly restored after a replace of the item being edited.
• When AllowDrag is set to true and a row drag is initiated, the DataGridVirtualizingCollectionView and DataGridVirtualizingQueryableCollectionView no longer query unnecessary data.
• Canceling a print and re-printing no longer results in an unopenable file or print-out.
• Grouping an empty DataGridControl bound to a DataGridVirtualizingCollectionView no longer throws an exception.
• When a Row’s MinHeight and MaxHeight are defined as the same value, the mouse cursor no longer shows the resize glyph since resizing is impossible.
• Corrected an issue that occurred when a cell’s EditTemplate lost focus when setting e.Cancel to true in the cell’s EditEnding event.
• Opening the DataGridControl in Blend 3 no longer results in an exception being thrown.
• Setting a ColumnManagerCell’s HorizontalContentAlignment and VerticalContentAlignment through a style now has an effect on the Printed DataGridControl.
• The remove filter button is now displayed in a detail grid’s filter row.
• Corrected an issue where the DataGridCollectionView was not accepting items whose types derived from the item type specified at construction.
• The FilterRow can now be navigated to using the Keyboard while using CardView.
• Removes binding warnings from the output window when bound to items implementing IDataErrorInfo and using UnboundDataGridItemProperties.
• Corrected an issue that occurred when toggling the sort direction of a column while multiple columns were sorted

Head on over and snag it now!

Personally, I will be interested to see the new view and will post my experiences with it shortly.
