# What is System.Windows.Controls.Grid contol in WPF?

Similar to an HTML table, the Grid control provides a flexible area for content layout and positioning using rows and columns. Note, however, that there is a distinct Table control, System.Windows.Documents.Table, which provides blocklevel content flow also based on rows and columns and derives from a different class than Grid, which derives from System.Windows.Controls.Panel.
