SpicyTaco.WpfToolkit
==================
A magical replacement for the built in WPF Grid and StackPanel.
> **NOTE:** I'm in the process of renaming this project from SpicyTaco.AutoGrid to SpicyTaco.WpfToolkit. This is because I plan to add more useful features to this package beyond just AutoGrid.
## Installation
To add SpicyTaco.WpfToolkit to your WPF project, all you have to do is install it from NuGet:
```
Install-Package SpicyTaco.AutoGrid
```
Usage Examples
--------------
**AutoGrid**
In order to get
[Sourced from the awesome WpfTutorials](http://wpftutorial.net/GridLayout.html)
You would typically write XAML that looked like
```xml
```
You can simply write
```xml
```
I personally like to put my `Label`s with the element they are labeling. So just remove the `Orientation` which defaults to `Horizontal` and rearrange the elements. You can also pull the common margin up, defining it only once.
```xml
```
**StackPanel**
The built in StackPanel control has always been frustrating to use. When you have a `TextBlock` that has a lot of text, it is impossible to wrap that text without setting an explicit width. Also, a StackPanel does not fill its container.
Also, I've always wanted a simple container which would apply a margin but only between child elements. This allows me to control the margin of the parent and the spacing between each child separately and cleanly.
```xml
```
