Question

I have the following XAML which shows a textblock in a grid. The problem is that it just stretches out, it even stretches itself greater than the windows width.

<Grid Background="Gray">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

    <Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Padding="0" FontWeight="Bold" Margin="0,0,5,0">Description:</Label>
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>

Answer 1

You need to restrict the width of the second column to make the text wrap –

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
