Is it possible in Expression Blend that whenever any component( Grid, textbox, textblock etc. ) is added to a grid, the height increases automatically?

The height of what?
Just incase:
The grid can have dynamic height, width:
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="0.3*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="30"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
the 0.3* means 30% of the height the grid has
30 means 30 pixels
hope this helps :)

Hi,
Say that the height of the layoutroot is 480.. I tried to embed 5 grids each of height 150 stacked vertically( i.e in each row of the base grid).. Going by this 1 grid will lie outside the layoutroot.. My question is that how i can accomodate the 5th grid in layout root...?
In this context can u have a grid resized in height according to the number of components added to it.
I think giving * for row definition only divides the space within the grid according to the percentage..
What i need is to resize the height of the grid as i add components to it..

Hello, generally speaking, you should avoid setting explicit size on Grid. If you remove the Width="something" and Height="something", the Grid will automatically adjust its size. This, however, may cause some problems in design time. So you can use the Design Time Size feature, which doesn't affect runtime. Have a look at this screenshot:
The markup generated looks like this:
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="247" d:DesignHeight="236"
Note the d:DesignWidth/Height properties. They don't affect runtime. As long as your Grid doesn't have Width/Height property, it will automatically resized along with the browser.
