@MauricioFernandez tienes algun sitio o algo asi ? Pude compilar el componente pero al aplicarlo me sale el error de que no puede encontrar un ensamblado pero no me dice detalles. Tal vez es eso que indicas, pero soy medio nuevo en esto de C# y Silverlight y no me sale. Mi email sunco007@hotmail.com - O quiza para este entonces tengas alguna otra manera de ver datos en un tipo DataGrid

If you try to use this code with Mango you will have some conflicts I think you can solve those conflicts using an assembly alias and something like this:

extern alias windowsdata;
using IPagedCollectionView = windowsdata::System.ComponentModel.IPagedCollectionView;
using PagedCollectionView = windowsdata::System.Windows.Data.PagedCollectionView;

Right now I am porting Silverlight DataGrid so that it could be offered as part of Resco MobileLight Toolkit. Be warned whoever tries this way - its huge amount of work. So far I spent 10 days and it might need a lot more.

Some hints:

- Some parts should better be omitted (grouping for example). It's not only dead code (I don't think groups can be controlled on WP7), but it needs classes defined in SVL 3 binaries (libs).

- You can get rid of these libs by finding needed classes on the web. For example System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations sources are on http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/CSharp/Web-Frameworks/Silverlight%20Toolkit/System/ComponentModel/DataAnnotations/CatalogDataAnnotations.htm (Ms-PL licence)

- You will find that DataPager control is for birds. Better remove it. (Although then you lose data virtualization. However, this is based on PagedCollectionView, which is not supported on WP7. Right now I am ignoring this, but sooner or later it will have to be solved.)

- Scrollbar support ditto. Nonsense for WP7. You will have to fit ScrollViewer into the DataGrid template and do some coding to get it working properly. I am not sure how it will co-operate with dynamic row templates (details, validation).

- This way you can get (seemingly) working WP7 DataGrid. However, a lot of problems can be expected.

- WP7 theming has to be done.Possibly another big topic.

I think there may be a reason why there is no DataGrid for Windows Phone 7... Grids on a mobile phone is the worst thing ever: it's not ergonomic. It's also an easy path when you don't want to bother with UI design. I dream of a world where DataGrids would have never existed.
