For the comments column which is a “text” type in the data source (for example in MSSQL) I displayed a “X” in the Comments column in the DataGrid object.
X means there are comments for that item and when the user click on that column then the text is displayed in multilines text box on a dialog form. There the user may log other comments to the existing comments or just have a way to read the whole comments in a given format.

You can set the DataGrid PreferredRowHeight property to a larger value, but this will affect all rows, even if there are no comments.

If you want to vary the height of each row based on the contents of its columns, you need to derive a datagrid and override the row height calculations. See

for a really good example.
