using DataGridView(winForms) in wpf

Question

I am using datagridview (not datagrid) in my wpf application and i use this code to call it in my Window

<Window x:Class="TestHosting.MainWindow"
    xmlns:wf="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="440.132" Width="521.053">
<Grid>

    <WindowsFormsHost Margin="20,20,130,142">
        <wf:DataGridView x:Name="dgv">

            <wf:DataGridView.Columns>
                <wf:DataGridViewColumn Name="column1" HeaderText="Col l" />
                <wf:DataGridViewColumn Name="column2" HeaderText="Col 2"/>
                <wf:DataGridViewColumn Name="column3" HeaderText="Col 3"/>
            </wf:DataGridView.Columns>

        </wf:DataGridView>
    </WindowsFormsHost>

and the problem is that an error says that "At Least on of the datagridview controls' columns has no cell template."

how should I fix this error ?

forget winforms, it's totally useless. What do you want that for? — Fede

@HighCore why winforms is useless, can you explain please? — Fabio

@Fabio because it's inferior, requires more code to achieve less, and whatever you want can be done in WPF just fine, without resorting to a bunch of ridiculous "owner draw" hacks. — Fede

@HighCore, sorry, I forget, we already discussed that before - I know your point of view :) — Fabio

You could use DataGrid, instead of DataGridView

SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Table", con);
                DataTable dt = new DataTable("Call Reciept");
                da.Fill(dt);
                DataGrid dg = new DataGrid();
                dg.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView;

Except that DataGrid is very difficult to use in comparison
