Vista - Textbox AutoSize?

Hi,
I have a Grid with this code in it:

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="100" Width="100"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

In the second column lies a text box.

Q: How can I fill the second column with the Textbox? When I put
TextBox->Width="Auto"
And
TextBox->HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
I just get a huge TextBox because it is adjusted based on the Text
inside the TextBox...

I am new in this, so please give me smt. Even a whole new approach
would be fine. I just want it to work.

Do you mean to have the TextBox with normal height, not filling the whole
grid row? If so, then you can just set the proper height for the TextBox or
host the TextBox in another parent container like StackPanel:

<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="100" Width="100"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Width="Auto"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Height="22" Width="Auto"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2">
<TextBox Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>

The first TextBox will fill the first row of the grid, the second will have
the set height, and the third will have normal height because it is hosted
in the StackPanel.
