WP7: alternative of DataGrid with fixed header and other panels


I had a problem in my project on Windows Phone 7. I need to do big area with 24 rows and some count columns. The most important thing is that my header and first left column must be fixed.
After searching I didn't find any standart controls like DataGrid or DataGridView in Silverlight or in WPF.
My decision is simple. I did Grid with four cells and did synchronization between scrollviewers.
See xaml code:
<Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
 
        <Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" 
                BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="White" Background="Gray"/>
 
        <ScrollViewer x:Name="headerScv" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
                      BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="White" Background="Gray"
                      VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" 
                      HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
                      ManipulationMode="Control" MouseEnter="scroller_MouseEnter"
                      ManipulationCompleted="scrollviewer_ManipulationCompleted">
            <Grid x:Name="headerGrid" Height="100" Width="1000" ShowGridLines="False" >
                <Grid.Background>
                    <RadialGradientBrush>
                        <GradientStop Color="#FF5F1010" Offset="0"/>
                        <GradientStop Color="#FF822E2E" Offset="0.344"/>
                        <GradientStop Color="#FFC58C8C" Offset="1"/>
                    </RadialGradientBrush>
                </Grid.Background>
            </Grid>
        </ScrollViewer>
 
        <ScrollViewer x:Name="leftSideScv" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"
                    BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="White" Background="Gray"
                    VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
                    HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
                    ManipulationMode="Control" MouseEnter="scroller_MouseEnter" 
                    ManipulationCompleted="scrollviewer_ManipulationCompleted">
            <Grid Width="100" Height="1000" ShowGridLines="False">
                <Grid.Background>
                    <RadialGradientBrush>
                        <GradientStop Color="Black" Offset="0"/>
                        <GradientStop Color="#FFD42929" Offset="1"/>

            <Grid x:Name="meetingsGrid" ShowGridLines="False" Width="1000" Height="1000">
                <Grid.Background>
