XAML Question

Question

I have a simple form with two textboxes with labels on left hand side, then going down vertically a label and right under the label a listview.

I tried several different things including margins and grid and grid.rows but no luck, the elements keep getting chopped off. Whats the best way to do it ? 

 

Also do you know any Jumpstart tutorial of XAML ? I expected XAML to be as simple as HTML in layouts

What is the problem. TextBob Label or Listview or all?

Answer 2

Best way is to use a grid with column and row definitions.  Assign your controls the row and columns appropriately.  Remember you can use ColumnSpan and RowSpan as well to go across multiples.  Also, don't specify widths or heights for your controls, they will autosize with the grid. 

Answer 3

Or use StackPanel and Wrappanels instead of Grid

Hi Fahad349,

See Panels Overview and Layout System for more information about this.
