We need to have non-developers create dozens of input forms with XAML.

The best solution I found was the free XAML Power Toys since you can create and edit grids visually, also create from classes.

I took a look at Blend 3 quickly, dragged a Grid into my Window but found no options to actually create, say, a 4 x 10 grid with labels. I thought Blend would have these kinds of options so that designers could quickly design a grid with label/control pairs.

Am I missing something about Blend, or does it really not have any input form designing features?

    Hm. Would that be any more natural than, say, an option to create a StackPanel with images or a DockPanel with TextBoxes?

    What I’m getting at is that even though a grid with labels is a natural UI design for you, most designers (whom Blend is targeting) would regard such features as “Microsoft Word-ish” or even (shudder) “Front Page-ish” and stifling their creativity. I guess.

    Actually, both Blend and Visual Studio allow you to create and edit grids visually. It’s really quite fast once you get the hang of it.

    And then there is copy/paste, of course..
