Visual studio 2015 Properties panel

I'm reading a tutorial about c# wpf projects and at some point it tells me to put a tab control on my project and set its properties like this:

Grid.RowSpan="2" Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="2" Width="408" Height="208" Grid.Row="1"

My novice problem is that I cannot find Grid.RowSpan property on properties panel in order to change it.

  1. Are some properties available only from xaml editor?
  2. Is there a way to find it on properties panel also?

  1. I'm not entirely sure, but some are definitely easier to use from XAML.

  2. It is in the layout properties (see picture).

You tabcontrol goes inside the page's grid, so the Grid.RowSpan property is inherited from that.

Additionally, you may have defined some rows in your grid in a way similar to this: 

<Grid>
   <Grid.RowDefinitions>
      <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
      <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
      <RowDefinition Height="*" />

So, basically, that should work. RowSpan is written with Capital "R" and "S" btw, could htat be it?
