## What it is
Extended WPF Toolkit is a large collection of WPF controls, components, and utilities for building Windows desktop applications in C#/XAML. It includes controls like AvalonDock, CheckComboBox, and data grids that are missing from the base WPF framework.

## Use cases
- add missing controls to a WPF application
- build professional Windows desktop UIs in C#
- get a datagrid component for WPF
- apply modern themes to XAML applications
- add docking panels and checkable combo boxes to WPF

## When to choose
- you are building a WPF desktop app and need controls beyond the built-in set
- you want a mature, widely downloaded WPF control library
- non-commercial use fits the Xceed Community License

## When to avoid
- you need commercial use without a paid license, since v4+ is non-commercial only
- you are targeting platforms other than Windows/WPF
- you need professional support or the newest features, which require the Plus Edition

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, theme
- domain: desktop-applications, web-development, cross-platform
- platform: windows, dotnet
- tags: wpf, xaml, datagrid, controls, csharp, windows-desktop
