Re: How can I set the horizontalalignment of an individual row in grid?

A row definition does not support the HorizontalAlignment property.

Apply this property to elements you place within your grid. 

Also, HorizontalAlignment is related to a child element's position in a column, not a row.  Alignment to a row would be VerticalAlignment.

Here's an illustrative example in C#, but I'd recommend you do as much of this in Xaml as possible:

 

            Grid g = new Grid();
            //create 2 columns in the grid
            g.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition() { Width = new GridLength(30) });
            g.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition() { Width = new GridLength(30) });

            //Define some elements
            TextBlock t = new TextBlock() { Text = "Aligned left", HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left };
            TextBlock t2 = new TextBlock() { Text = "Aligned center", HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center };

            //Assign grid positions
            Grid.SetColumn(t, 0);
            Grid.SetColumn(t2, 1);

            //Add the elements to the grid's collection
            g.Children.Add(t); 
            g.Children.Add(t2);
