WPF Make layout dynamically

I want to make layout dynamically.
For example, When I drag and drop a image, 1 image appears on the box.
When I drag and drop another image, box divide into 2 box (dynamically divide into two).
My question is, what layout should I use (stack panel, grid, or something else) and How to I make layout dynamically using code?
I know question is a little vague but I'm not so good at WPF so please understand Thx.

I would use a GridView and so you can add column or row.
DataGridViewTextBoxColumn trackPositionTextBox = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
trackPositionTextBox.HeaderText = "Track Postion";
trackPositionTextBox.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
dataGridViewSamples.Columns.Add(trackPositionTextBox);
That's to add a Column in a DataGridView.
dataGridViewSamples.Row.Add()
That's to add a row.
I'm also not the best in wpf, but I hope it was helpful.

If you don't need any animation, you could simple add new columns and rows to your WPF-Grid, while drop an image.

Is there a textboxlist control available somewhere?

There are ASP controls such as radiobuttonlist and checkboxlist and you can databind them to a database query. It's great for creating dynamic lists with user interaction. What I'm trying to do is generate a list of textboxes in the same fashion. A list of textboxes that behave the same way.
The object is to have a checkboxlist that is generated via datasource/database. When the user is finished selecting items from this list, they click a button. That list hides (using jquery) and a new list is created based on their selections. However, the new list is now a list of their selections accompanied by an empty textbox. The user fills in the textboxes for each entry and submits again which commits it to a database.
SO:
checkbox - description
checkbox - description
checkbox - description
checkbox - description
Becomes:
Description - Textbox
Description - Textbox
The reason that I'm looking for a list-type control is so that I can ultimately loop through it for submission to the database using linq. Does that make sense? My real question is if there is a control like this yet. I gave the full description in case someone has any other ideas, short of creating a custom control.

There's nothing out of the box that does what you describe no. But you can still loop through controls. I would put your form controls inside of an asp:Panel or a div with runat="server" and use something like the following code to cycle through them as you described.
foreach(Control ctl in myPanel.Controls)
{
//check control type and handle
if (ctl is TextBox)
{
//handle the control and its value here
}
}

asp:ListBox has a property named SelectionMode, which can be set to SelectionMode="Multiple" and allows you to select items you want. This is not exactly what you need but it's a simple solution.

After the selection is made in checkboxlist, make a postback to server. Here create a datatable with two columns (description & text). For every selected item in the checkboxlist add a row to this table and bind it to a gridview control. Here 'text' column will be always empty. Configure the gridview to use template column with a textbox in the itemtemplate

Display ASP.NET GridView inside a selected row in another GridView

I have been given a mockup that I do not know is possible to code in ASP.NET without being a real html and javascript wizard.
I want a GridView that when a row is selected, the selected row expands and below the selected row a panel of additional information is shown, which would also include another small GridView. The idea is this would all be in-line. So if the user selected row 4, then the additional information would appear below row 4 and then after the additional information the parent GridView would continue with row 5.
Ultimately I would want to do a multi-select type of set up, but first I need to figure out if this is even possible. Also, the solution must be 508 Compliant
The one solution I considered was using only one "column". Then I would put all my fields in the ItemTemplate, and my detail panel content in the EditItemTemplate and instead of selecting the row, set it to edit mode. The problem with this solution is I lose the functionality of multiple columns if I throw everything in one huge ItemTemplate.
Any and all suggestions or ideas are appreciated.

What you're describing would be best fulfilled with a ListView control. It takes a little more templating work to set up than a grid view, but you have much more control over it and you can emulate the look of a GridView. You would set your Selected Item template to contain another ListView (or GridView) thats bound to your detailed data.

I've done this using a gridview inside a ListView and using ajaxcontroltoolkit collapsible panel
Your parent list would be a listview that would have 2 table rows for each item, on the first row your parent column, on the second row use colspan and add a gridview wrapped on a collapsible panel

edit datagrid row

i want to know how to edit a single row (which i select) from a data grid
for example i have a datagrid with columns A, B and C
and i have a couple rows of data, approx 10 rows.
lets say i want to change the value of data within row 4.
how would i do this?
i am using visual studio 2003, but i guess if visual studio 2005 would be okay too. for the coding I'm using c#
thanks..

All grid-like components of asp.net have the same machanism as it comes to starting to edit a single row. Actually it's default for asp.net only to edit a single row in a grid.
Needed to start editing is to include asp:button or asp:linkbutton in the ItemTemplate with the CommandName set to "Edit". This one of reserved commandnames all grid-like components knows how to respond to. Clicking this button in DataGrid will raise the EditCommand Event. In this event you have to set the EditItemIndex of the grid equal to Item.Itemindex of the eventargs. This will render the row vaccordeing to the EditItemTemplate.
In this template you put 2 buttons or linkbuttons. One should have the CommandName set to "Update" and one should have the CommandName set to "Cancel".
The "Update" button raises the UpdateCommand event. In which you execute code that store the data in the row to its storage (eg.: database) and sets the EditItemIndex to -1 --> all rows are rendered read-only(ItemTemplate or AlternateItemTemplate).
The "Cancel" button raises the CancelCommand event. In the event handler you have to do si set the EditItemIndex to -1.
This description is only true for DataGrid en not for the in asp.net introduced GridView which handles most of this "Boilerplate"code it self working together with the datasource controls. Google the web for more info on this. it's to much to explain here right now.
Hope it helps?

Take a look at the documentation for adding an EditItemTemplate to your datagrid. You use the ItemTemplate for view-only, display elements and you use the EditItemTemplate for controls used to bind against a single row that you select.

Is your data in a DataTable before making it a DataGrid, or can you put it in a DataTable? You can update/delete/edit rows in a DataTable, here's a link with code snippets, pretty straight forward:
