Question

What is the logic for displaying controls within a WPF Grid when neither rows nor columns are defined for the Grid? Likewise, if rows and/or columns are defined, what happens if you don’t specify a value for the attached properties (i.e., Grid.Row=”1″ Grid.Column=”0″) on child controls?

Thanks!

I have seen this being used quite a bit.

<Grid>
   <Ellipse ... />
   <TextBlock ... />
</Grid>

The Ellipse will be behind the TextBlock, both will fill up the interior of the Grid.

It behave like a 1×1 Grid, you may set Grid.Column="0" but not any other value.
