Question

The following code is part of a small XAML application that displays data in a tabular form. Basically I need to translate this code into C#.

<Grid Width="768" Height="1056">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="114" />
        <RowDefinition Height="906*" />
        <RowDefinition Height="36" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
...
<Label Grid.Row="1" Width="40" Height="32" Margin="14,4,0,0" Padding="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Name="label16">
    <AccessText Margin="0,0,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" TextAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold">
        SEQ
    </AccessText>
</Label>
...
</Grid>

I’ve been looking for an answer for a couple of days and I can’t find anything specific to this. Can someone please give me an idea of how to do it?

Thank you

I constructed a sample Window for you. Here is the code-behind you are looking for:

public Window1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    AccessText text = new AccessText()
    {
        Text = "SEQ",
        Margin = new Thickness(0),
        TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap,
        TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center,
        FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold
    };

    Label label = new Label()
    {
        Content = text,
        Width = 40,
        Height = 32,
        Margin = new Thickness(14, 4, 0, 0),
        HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left,
        VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
        HorizontalContentAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center,
        VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
        BorderBrush = Brushes.Black,
        BorderThickness = new Thickness(1),
        Name = "label16"
    };

    Grid grid = new Grid();
    grid.Width = 768;
    grid.Height = 1056;
    grid.RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition() { Height = new GridLength(114) });
    grid.RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition() { Height = new GridLength(906, GridUnitType.Star) });
    grid.RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition() { Height = new GridLength(36) });
    Grid.SetRow(label, 1);
    grid.Children.Add(label);

    this.Content = grid;
}

This example nicely demonstrates how easy XAML is for constructing user interfaces. 🙂
