While trying to implement TableView into my app, I noticed a thing called DataTable which playing around with the code (probably not related to TableView). It seems perfect for quickly and easily adding dynamic columns and could significantly simplify the process of implementing advanced custom control over columns and rows. It could also potentially solve #56 and be something to add to the docs

WinUI.TableView is designed to work with collections that inherit from IList, such as ObservableCollection or List. DataTable, on the other hand, is not supported directly as a data source for TableView. If you want to use data from a DataTable, you’ll need to convert its rows into a supported collection type first.
