ColumnSpan="2">
Span Button
Row and column spanning can achieve some interesting effects and is particularly handy
when you need to fit elements in a tabular structure that??™s broken up by dividers or longer sections
of content.
Using column spanning, you could rewrite the simple dialog box example from Figure 4-11
using just a single Grid. This Grid divides the window into three columns, spreads the text box
over all three, and uses the last two columns to align the OK and Cancel buttons.

This is a test.
Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">OK
Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2">Cancel

Most developers will agree that this layout isn??™t clear or sensible. The column widths are
determined by the size of the two buttons at the bottom of the window, which makes it difficult
to add new content into the existing Grid structure.
