In theory there is no limit, apart from available memory space. In practice, your application should limit the amount of data presented at any time in order that the user can manage it without needing to scroll through hundreds of pages.

To improve performance, the EnableRowVirtualization property is set to true by default.
When the EnableRowVirtualization property is set to true, the DataGrid does not instantiate a DataGridRow object for each data item in the bound data source.
Instead, the DataGrid creates DataGridRow objects only when they are needed, and reuses them as much as it can.
For example, the DataGrid creates a DataGridRow object for each data item that is currently in view and recycles the row when it scrolls out of view.
This applies to .NET 4 or later.
For earlier versions of framework you must implement it.
