Question

I’m writing an application using WPF, and I need to make something that looks like this (see image):

What control should I use for this?

Answer 1

If you don’t need the groupings (the “Hire as chef” and “Seek dinner invitation” headings), then DataGrid should get you close. You can bind its ItemsSource to your collection of items, and define custom columns bound to your items’ properties.

For example, you can use a DataGridTextColumn for “Occupation”, DataGridCheckBoxColumn for “Tells Jokes?”, and DataGridTemplateColumn for more complex properties which require a custom DataTemplate to visualize, such as the main “Person” column or “Cooking skill”.

Edi: It appears that the DataGrid does support grouping as well.
