How to: Position the Child Elements of a Grid
This example shows how to use the get and set methods that are defined on xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid to position child elements.
Example
The following example defines a parent xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid element (grid1) that has three columns and three rows. A child xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle element (rect1) is added to the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid in column position zero, row position zero. xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button elements represent methods that can be called to reposition the xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle element within the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid. When a user clicks a button, the related method is activated.
[!code-xamlgridGetSetMethods]
The following code-behind example handles the methods that the button xref:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.Click events raise. The example writes these method calls to xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock elements that use related get methods to output the new property values as strings.
