Are there any good and free devexpress data grid alternatives for winforms?

Question

Are there any good free alternatives to DevExpress data grids (WinForms)?

I am looking for WinForms Data Grid and Data Editor Controls. Some good ones where you can sort and group by columns and edit data inside the grid.

If the built in DataGridView control is not good enough, here are some alternatives:

• http://sourcegrid.codeplex.com/
• http://www.codeproject.com/KB/user-controls/EditableGridView.aspx
• http://www.codeproject.com/KB/grid/OutlookGrid.aspx

Late to the party but I've just from SyncFusion which is free for <$1M companies. Their grid looks pretty good High Performance WinForms DataGrid Control

Note you have to claim a free community license - and I have no affiliation with these

Most people use the DataGridView control. It supports all that, and since it's included with WinForms, it's completely free.

This package isn't free though. It has a trial version. It costs $499 for 1 dev. license.
