Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if grid lines are visible; otherwise, false. The default value is false.
Remarks
Dependency property identifier field: ShowGridLinesProperty
Enabling grid lines creates dotted lines around all the elements within a Grid, as shown in the following illustration.
Only dotted lines are available because this property is intended as a design tool to debug layout problems. Setting ShowGridLines to true is not intended for use in production-quality code. If you want lines inside a Grid, style the elements within the Grid to have borders. For more information, see Border.
