wpf - Understanding Uniform Grid control

Question

I was just trying uniform grid, how it works.

Code :

<UniformGrid Name="uniformGrid1" Rows="2" Columns="3">
        <Button Content="Rohit" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" />
        <Button Content="asit" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" />
</UniformGrid>

I found that both buttons are placed adjacent to each other, however there exist a column between them. Why is it so ? (as in uniform grid, each cell has similar size there should be one cell between them)

Understood why it is so (by answer) but still curious to konw what's the significance of Attached property - Grid.Row & Grid.Column if they do nothing ???

Answer 1

UniformGrid contains two properties, Rows and Columns, for setting the number of rows and columns. Controls are added to the grid in the order that they are declared. So there will not be any column in between them. In your example you have declared Columns=3 and you have added only two controls. But if you add another control it will place in the end.

  <UniformGrid Name="uniformGrid1"
                 Rows="2"
                 Columns="3">
        <Button Content="Rohit"
                 Margin="2" />
        <Button Content="asit"
                 Margin="2" />
        <Button Content="asit"
                Margin="2" />
    </UniformGrid>
