DataGrid: You use dataGrid to show some data, relevant data to the user. It looks like an Excel sheet, but less detailed. You can Add, Edit and Delete data from the DataGrid. Is a very specialized control. You can view many records at the same time.

DataForm: Use it when you must show detailed data. Show all data (customizable) and allows to Add, Edit and Delete a particular data, navigating one by one.

You can Add a DataForm inside a Row of the DataGrid control, so when you select a specific row on DataGrid you can see the corresponding row with respective data.

Hope it helps.

As the best practice in Silverlight programming, Datagrid is used to display the summary of records read only. Where as Dataform will display the details of the selected record.

Datagrid is a User Interface control element, derived from System.Windows.Controls, where as Dataform control enables various methods for display, edit, update and navigation through data.
