Configuring a Collection View to Use a Grid Layout
You can configure a collection view to use a grid layout object programmatically or at design time:
- At design time, set the Layout attribute of your collection view to Grid.
- A grid layout displays only items and does not display supplementary views or decoration views. Use the properties of this class to configure the number of rows and columns in the grid. You can also use these properties to configure the spacing between items and the minimum sizes.
