WPF - Layout

Layout elements can be used to build an adaptable user interface like –

• flow-style layout, where content flows left to right and then onto the start of the next line


• a grid layout, which enables table-like layouts, where contents can resize automatically or proportionally. You can nest layout elements to produce complex layouts and write new element types if the built-in types are not suitable
  

Example:

<Page x:Class="TestXBAP.Page1"

Title="Page1"
