Lets assume that you have e.g. this class:

public class ExampleClass
{
    public int LongPropertyNameA;
    public int LongPropertyNameB;
    public int LongPropertyNameC;
    public int LongPropertyNameD;
    public int LongPropertyNameE;
    public int LongPropertyNameF;

Conclusion:
If you want it very easy download the Xceed WPF Toolkit and use the DataGridControl.

• Download the .dll from the website (search the internet for the free version)
• Add the .dll to the references of your project
• Use and enjoy the DataGridControl

Hope it helps!
