WPF How to make "layer"

Hello... I am developing a small appplication which is single windowed... I have formated everything with care .. The window contains a grid which has 2 columns.. The second is auto and the first is of type *.(takes the remaining space)

Is there a way to change the content of the first column ?(to display a chart for example) The only solution i can think is a tabcontrol with invisible tabs to switch programmatically, or create a custom user control and place it somehow..but the last solution i think sucks because the content i want to display isnt just a user control.. In java i could do this very easilly,is there any solution here?(i dont want to mess the design view!)

+2  A: 

You could

  • put a <ContentControl> in XAML where you want to exchange contents.
  • give it a name (x:Name)
  • Now you can target the control. It supports IAddChild such that you can attach any child object to be displayed.

yes but at the design view it doesnt help

well, what kind of help do you want? if you separate the possible contents into its own content controls, you can use the designer over there...
