Question

Isn’t there a trick that may help me show a component inside a grid by using X,Y coordinates ?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can place a canvas inside a grid and then set controls inside the canvas with x,y coordinates.

This however, although doable, is not a good way for control layout.

I would recommend creating rows and columns for the grid, and placing the controls inside the grid cells by assigning a grid row and grid column to the control.

Usualy one grid is enough per page, which is the layout grid available by default, you just have to add rows and columns according to your needs.

If you have a very simple layout, you can just use a stack panel.

Here is an overview of the 3 (canvas, stack panel, grid): http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/pages/silverlight-tutorial-part-2-using-layout-management.aspx
