This causes the grids to be displayed as a kind of canvas, on which the controls can be positioned in an absolute manner, instead of "fixing" them in a column/row position. Actually, what Blend does is calculate the column, row, columnspan, rowspan and margins to create the positioning which the designer wants to achieve.
