I simply have two grid on top of one another. Given one state of the world, I want grid A to be on top, given another state of the world, I want grid B to be on top. In the old days we could just call grid.BringToFront(), but that doesn't exist anymore, and I can't figure out any way to make that happen.

The best I can figure, I need to create my own custom classes to allow this functionality, but that seems like major overkill for something that used to be so simple.
