Windows Phone 7 Silverlight Dynamic Grid

Question

I am trying to form a dynamic grid, in which the user determines number of rows and number of columns, also I am trying to use a Panorama control as a parent for the grid. In addition, I want the grid to have one control in each cell.

Is all of this possible?

Answer 1

It's possible but not recommended.

Reasons this could be bad:

• Building grids dynamically can take time and the performance hit may be noticable.
• The phone form factor doesn't support large grids well (due to the relatively small amount of available real estate) so there may be a better way of displaying the content you wish to.
• You could end up with a large grid inside a Panorama control. In turn this could lead to a large panorama which again may have performance implications.
