GridSplitter vs ContentSizer

[XAML-Knight]

Both GridSplitter and ContentSizer allow a control to be resized by the user. But when to use one or the other?

When to use GridSplitter:

When the developer is trying to resize a grid-based layout (i.e., rows and columns)

• Resize methods utilizing RowDefinition and ColumnDefinition properties
• Grid interior GridResizeBehavior such as resizing scheme based on CurrentAndNext or PreviousAndNext row and column
• GridLength measurement (IsAuto, IsStar, etc.)

Where to use ContentSizer:

Anywhere else not utilizing a grid-based layout

• Includes, but certainly is not limited to, basic horizontal and/or vertical resizing

A third option?

Implement your own control, by deriving from the base class, SplitBase.
