WPF Get ColumnSpan of an element

Question

It's really easy to set column span for an UIElement in a grid.

Grid.SetColumnSpan(extBorder, gridFormular.ColumnDefinitions.Count());

but what's about reading an element's ColumnSpan? How to do that?

var columnSpan = (int)extBorder.GetValue(Grid.ColumnSpanProperty);

This same strategy works for retrieving the value of any dependency property which exists on the element.

+1 Not to forget Grid.GetColumnSpan (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.grid.getcolumnspan.aspx) – HCL Nov 18 '11 at 09:09

Besides of using GetValue(Grid.ColumnSpanProperty) as shown by sixlettervariables, you also can use Grid.GetColumnSpan().

+1, for the simple answer. For whatever reason I thought there wasn't one :) – user7116 Nov 18 '11 at 09:22
