In this WPF example, I will show how to put two grids inside a “parent” grid. The code is actually very easy. The parent grid has two rows and one column. In each of the rows, we will put another grid. There is a total of three grids in our project, that we will call GridGrid1. The child grids each have two rows and one column. Below is a screenshot of the results of our program.

Here is a code listing. The important thing is to make sure we’ve got the Grid.Row and Grid.Column properties set right.

    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition/>
            <RowDefinition/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition/>
                <RowDefinition/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <Button Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">Hey first grid</Button>
            <Button Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">Hey first grid row 2</Button>
        </Grid>
        <Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition/>
                <RowDefinition/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <Button Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">Second grid first row</Button>
            <Button Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">Hey 2nd grid second row</Button>
        </Grid>
    </Grid>

A Grid and a StackPanel inside a 2-Row Grid

In this example we have started with a two-row (one column) grid. In the first row we have placed another grid and in the second row we have placed a StackPanel. The inner grid has two rows and two columns. The StackPnel has four objects in it: two buttons, a label and a button. Here is what it looks like.

Here is the XAML code for the below example.

    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition/>
            <RowDefinition/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition/>
                <RowDefinition/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition/>
                <ColumnDefinition/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <Button Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">Hey first grid</Button>
            <Button Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">Hey first grid second row</Button>
        </Grid>
        
        <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
            <Button Background="LightGreen">Parent Grid Second Row, Stack Panel 1</Button>
            <Button Background="LightBlue">Parent Grid Second Row, Stack Panel 2</Button>
            <Label Content="Label in Stack Panel"/>
            <Button Content="Button in Stack Panel"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
