Hi,
Strange that the DataGrid is not on the Blend 2.5 toolbox, but only in VS2008 !?

I also notice about that. maybe, I think DataGrid maybe under different namespace or something.
The following codes are from VS. You see the differences.
Page.xaml without DataGrid
<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.Page" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Width="400" Height="300"> <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"><Button></Button> </Grid></UserControl>
Page.xaml with DataGrid
<UserControl xmlns:my="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.Page" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Width="400" Height="300"> <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"><my:DataGrid></my:DataGrid> </Grid></UserControl>
I think that we might need some dll references or something in order to use datagird. So, Blend can't support for that or maybe, we might need to add something.

Here is one solution that I found.
1. Add "System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll" as a reference to Blend.
2. Add this xmlns:my="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" in <UserControl
3. then, you can use like that <my:DataGrid></my:DataGrid>
You want to see DataGrid in Toolbox, right?
- Click on "Asset Library" (the bottom of toolbox)
- Check "Show All" checked box ( Yay! You will see DataGrid so choose it to add on toolbox) :)
Hope it helps.

How to USE the DataGrid component in blend?
I can drop the DataGrid component in a page but how to manage columns, headers and so.
Regards.

There are DataGridRow or DataGridCell or etc . you can add them on your toolbox.

Yes, this is quite surprising at the beginning...
You can have a look at this blog post:http://blogs.msdn.com/scmorris/archive/2008/03/21/using-the-silverlight-datagrid.aspx
