Is it possible to have a XamTileView with an odd number of panes other than by setting rows or cols in page to 1 ?
As I understand things, the number of panes is determined by the RowsInPage and ColumnsInPage properties.
If I set these to, say, 2 rows x 3 cols and add 5 panels, there is a void space that nothing can be done with.
Yes, currently the number of panes per page is determined by these tw properties - RowsInPage and CoulmnsInPage - the product of their values, as described in your first picture. Empty TilePane is inevitable in your case.
Are you planning to support additional layouts mentioned above? As far as I know, this is possible in WPF version. What about Silverlight?
