Expression Bleng Grid Lines Query

09-10-2008 12:45 PM |

Hi All,

Bit of an odd one, I am using Expression Blend to design my Silverlight page, and quite like the effect of the Grid Lines upon the look of the Page. Is there any simple way of actually having these Gridlines in the real Silverlight Page on display?

Thanks all,

 Jos

In Page.xaml in the Grid tag add this property: ShowGridLines = True. 

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"  ShowGridLines="True">

Thanks for your replies guys, I kind of meant the guide lines that Blend provides so that u can position various Canvases in line and in the correction position etc .The whole page is covered in square grid lines with each square containing another 4 squares which then contain a 5x5 grid.

Cheers,

Hi

That grid is to help you to place your objects properly. In order to have that effect in output also, you can always create that by using lines or rectangles.
