With a Grid, you can specify rows and/or columns with whatever dimensions that you want:



However, ListBox is most likely what you want, since you're probably going to want to specify any number of rows. You can set up a template for how each new object inserted into the row will be formatted. I don't know how, off hand, but you can just google it.

Alternatively, if you don't want all of the extra stuff that comes with a ListBox (selection, hover-over color changes, scrollbar, etc.), you can just use a StackPanel, and popuplate it with a set of user controls that are formatted how you want for the display. Then, in code, you just create these user controls, and add them to the StackPanel's Children property. That's probably what I'd do, though data binding might be a better fit.

I hope that helps!

Also, are there any must-read or must-see resources out there on getting started with WPF?

As far as that goes.... play! You can do a lot of cool stuff with WPF, and when you get good, it's really easy to create a great looking UI. My suggestion, once you get the layout basics down is to look at animation (System.Windows.Media.Animation, I believe). It's really easy to animate any number of types. Most often you'll be using DoubleAnimations, but you can do any number of others, and it's even possible to roll your own (though I've never done it). Once you get the hang of that, you'll be animating anything and everything on your UI that has any sort of transition, and it'll be super easy to do.

And, as an added bonus, once you know WPF, you pretty much also know Silverlight. I entered my current job never touching Silverlight, but within a couple of days I'd essentially completely taken over the all Silverlight UI just because of what I knew of WPF. They're very similar (though WPF is nicer, obviously).

Well, you could do it a number of ways. You could just use a text box, and modify its control template using Expression Blend. I don't know enough to tell you exactly how to do it, or even that it's fully possible, but I think it would be.

Alternatively, you could handle the mouse events to facilitate selection. Clicking the mouse selects the byte that's currently under the mouse as your FirstSelectedByte, and, more importantly, sets a Selecting flag, such that every time you MouseEnter over a byte, you select everything from the FirstSelectedByte to the sender byte. You'll have to manually facilitate what that means, whether it's a rectangle of selected bytes, or selection as through it was a 1-dimensional array of bytes (even though it's represented 2-dimensionally).

If you already know C# and are familiar with the old .Net controls XAML is really the only major change from winforms so it shouldn't be too different.
Petzold latest Programming for Windows book covers all the nitty gritty detail you need for WPF programming but is lacking in pictures compared to other books.
Actually, now that I think about it he probably has the program you are trying to make in that book since I know the first program Petzold likes to write for any new language is a hex editor [lol]
If you are more of a visual person like myself though they got plenty of WPF videos here.
