WPF Grid Quick Way to Make Columns and Rows

Question

Let's say I need to make a with 30 columns and 30 rows. Do I have to do <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition> and <RowDefinition></RowDefinition> for 30 times? Is there any easier/faster method?

You can always iterate through the list of column names and add the column using code behind — Tejus, Sep 18 '18 at 06:36
You can use `` copy 5x. Then select all 5 and hit `Ctrl+V` 6x. - shouldn't be to much of an effort. — Felix D., Sep 18 '18 at 06:51
Or you could try to cluster your view by separating parts into several usercontrols. that should save you some columns and rows ! — Felix D., Sep 18 '18 at 06:53
What are you actually trying to do? Maybe you're better off with another control and let it generate your cells with a template. — Lennart, Sep 18 '18 at 08:43
I am with @Lennart on this; it sounds like you probably want to use another control entierly, like a `UniformGrid` or `StackPanel`. — Élie, Sep 18 '18 at 10:14

Create them programmatically using a plain old for loop:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    const int n = 30;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
        grid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition());
        grid.RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition());
    }
}

XAML:

<Grid x:Name="grid" />

It can't be easier.
