can anybody suggest any book or website which deals with DataGrid
Posted

Maybe you can find some, or someone helps you, but I hardly can imagine an author who would like to spend time on a whole book or a Web site devoted to just one class — System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.datagrid%28v=vs.95%29.aspx[^]. :-)

By the way, what's wrong with the article referenced above? Can it pass for a Web site? :-)

I can try to explain what's the problem here. Do to specific nature of WPF, the essence of things you need to understand for successful programming lies not in any particular control, but in its conceptions, basic principles and architecture which is anything but trivial. You need to learn concepts, not controls. Even if someone managed to write and "isolated" books on just one control, it would not be really useful.

Some example of such topics are:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752914.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms749011.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745058.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613548.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms753115.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613570.aspx[^].

Do these topic look unrelated? If so, this is a real problem. They are very much related to the topic you are interested in. And this is only a small part fundamentally related to controls, probably not complete. Forget about typography, imaging, 3D, animation and a lot more.

For a very top level overview, please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Presentation_Foundation[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms746927.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms750441.aspx[^].

While SAKryukov has provided an excellent answer, I guess you would like some examples on how to use the WPF DataGrid too:
WPF DataGrid Practical Examples[^]
Introduction to the WPF DataGrid[^]
MVVM and the WPF DataGrid[^]

And here is Jaime Rodriguez article on how to style the WPF DataGrid:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jaimer/archive/2009/01/20/styling-microsoft-s-wpf-datagrid.aspx[^]

Best regards
