adding button dynamically to a grid

Question

How can I dynamically add a button to a grid and specify the row and column position. Right now when I use the following code, it always adds the button to the first row and column.

            Button btn2 = new Button();
            btn2.Content = "Welcome 600";
            SecondGrid.Children.Add(btn2);

In XAML , we do have the option to specify like : <Button Grid.Column="2">Welcome</Button>. How can do the same at runtime.

Thanks
Vishal

Hi Vishal,

You are missing the following two statements ....

Grid

 

.SetColumn(btn2, 2);

 

Grid.SetRow(btn2,5);

the second parameter is the respective column or row

after this you can add it to the grid like you have already done.
