🏁 Grid Extensions - GridIndexer (GI)

🎬 YouTube

An extensions that makes it easier to define rows and columns in Grid.

For example, usually, you need to define the ColumnDefinitions and the RowDefinitions like below. You also need to set the Grid.Row and Grid.Column by INDEX which makes it difficult and error prone to modificate the order.

<Grid
    ColumnDefinitions="*,*,*,*,*"
    RowDefinitions="*,*,*,*,*">
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"/>
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"/>
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2"/>
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="3"/>
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="4"/>
</Grid>

You can use GridIndexer (GI) and define your columns and rows like below.

<Grid>
    <TextBlock GI.Row="0" GI.Column="0"/>
    <TextBlock GI.Row="+1" GI.Column="+1"/>
    <TextBlock GI.Row="+1" GI.Column="+1"/>
    <TextBlock GI.Row="+1" GI.Column="+1"/>
    <TextBlock GI.Row="+1" GI.Column="+1"/>
</Grid>
