Answer 1

The row/column index on an element in WPF is an attached property. You set it using a static method on Grid, like this:

Grid.SetColumn(img, 1);

More info here, and more about attached properties here.

Answer 2

Image imgControl = new Image();
Grid.SetColumn(imgControl, 1);
gridContainer.Children.Add(imgControl);

Objects contained in a grid are positioned based on the attached dependency properties Column Row ColumnSpan and RowSpan which are set as shown above.
