Methods

The GridLengthHelper class has these methods. It also inherits methods from the Object class.

Method	Description
Equals(GridLength, GridLength)	Provides comparison of the values of two GridLength values. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use the = operator instead.
FromPixels	Creates a new GridLength value based on a fixed number of pixels. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use GridLength(Double) instead.
FromValueAndType	Creates a new GridLength value based on a possible number of pixels, and a GridUnitType. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use GridLength(Double,GridUnitType) instead.
GetIsAbsolute	Returns whether the evaluated GridLength is the special Absolute value. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use IsAbsolute instead.
GetIsAuto	Returns whether the evaluated GridLength is the special Auto value. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use IsAuto instead.
GetIsStar	Returns whether the evaluated GridLength is the special * (star sizing) value. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use IsStar instead.

Properties

The GridLengthHelper class has these properties.

Property	Access type	Description
Auto	Read-only	Gets a static GridLength value that corresponds to the special Auto value. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use Auto instead.

Remarks

GridLength is a Windows Runtime structure that represents a factor for available-space measurements in rows or columns of a Grid.

GridLengthHelper is one of several Helper classes that are intended to provide utility methods for Windows Runtime structure values. C# and Visual Basic code can use members of GridLength instead, because utility members are available directly on the structure due to .NET Framework runtime support. C++ code can only access the Value data value on GridLength. For C++ developers, approximately the same utility features that a Visual Basic developer could use directly on GridLength are available in a static form on the GridLengthHelper class.
