<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>If null is returned, the cell will not be recycled, therefore the <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Grid.GridLinkedCellFactory.CreateCellContent.html#C1_WPF_Grid_GridLinkedCellFactory_CreateCellContent_C1_WPF_Grid_GridCellType_C1_WPF_Grid_GridCellRange_System_Object_">CreateCellContent(GridCellType, GridCellRange, object)</a> method will be called for every rendered cell.
Notice this will affect the performance negatively.</p>
