layout

I have a WPF form, I want to lay out a standard form onto it. Each form element will have a label, and then a control. Pretty standard stuff.

If I use a wrap panel, it can cause the label and the control to be separated, but I want them to stay together. is there some WPF equivalent of nobr?

Grid works, and allows for column spanning etc, however I really really hate that you specify the column and row on each control. This makes it extremely inconvenient to reorder or insert things into the list.

Is there a way to get the grid to use more HTML style column/rows where the items are a child of the row they are in, so that I can re-order easily?

Is there some other control that will let me layout a form easily?
