Question

I am developing a small appplication which is single windowed…
I have formated everything with care .. The window contains a grid which has 2 columns.. The second is auto and the first is of type *.(takes the remaining space)

Is there a way to change the content of the first column ?(to display a chart for example)
The only solution i can think is a tabcontrol with invisible tabs to switch programmatically, or create a custom user control and place it somehow..but the last solution i think sucks because the content i want to display isnt just a user control..
In java i could do this very easilly,is there any solution here?(i dont want to mess the design view!)

Answer 1

You could

• put a <ContentControl> in XAML where you want to exchange contents.
• give it a name (x:Name)
• Now you can target the control. It supports IAddChild such that you can attach any child object to be displayed.
