i`m currently playing around with WPF and now i wonder what would be the layout for a typical dataentry window (20+ textboxes and stuff).

atm i`m using a grid object like this (basic sample)

    <Grid Margin='2,2,2,2'>         <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>             <ColumnDefinition Width='Auto'></ColumnDefinition>             <ColumnDefinition Width='*'></ColumnDefinition>         </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>          <Grid.RowDefinitions >             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>             <RowDefinition Height='Auto'></RowDefinition>         </Grid.RowDefinitions>              <Label Grid.Row='0' Grid.Column='0'>Vorname:</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='0' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=Surname, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}' ></TextBox>              <Label Grid.Row='1' Grid.Column='0'>Nachname:</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='1' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=ChristianName, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}'></TextBox>              <Label Grid.Row='2' Grid.Column='0'>Strasse (Wohnsitz):</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='2' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=Street1, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}'></TextBox>              <Label Grid.Row='3' Grid.Column='0'>Ort (Wohnsitz):</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='3' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=Town1, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}'></TextBox>              <Label Grid.Row='4' Grid.Column='0'>Postleitzahl (Wohnsitz):</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='4' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=PostalCode1, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}'></TextBox>              <Label Grid.Row='5' Grid.Column='0'>Bundesland (Wohnsitz):</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='5' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=State1, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}'></TextBox>              <Label Grid.Row='6' Grid.Column='0'>Land (Wohnsitz):</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='6' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=Country1, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}'></TextBox>              <Label Grid.Row='7' Grid.Column='0'>Zusatz (Wohnsitz):</Label>             <TextBox Grid.Row='7' Grid.Column='1' Text='{Binding Path=AdditionalAdrInfo1, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}'></TextBox>      </Grid>

basically this satisfies all my layout needs, but what if i wish to change something, like adding a new textbox in row 3?

currently i have to change every single Grid.Row property greater then 3, but that cant be the intended WPF way!?

how do others layout complex dataentry windows?
