All children are sized and positioned by their parent based on explicit or measured width/height. Images are extra tough because their size isn't known at first measure since the bits aren't fully loaded yet. Personally, I would just adjust its position when the "complete' event fires, but I also would expect the Container to handle this automatically. However, I've recommended you use Canvas so then you will have to position manually. If you decide to stick with boxes, we can look into this in more detail.

The problem is that the image file itself may be of varying dimensions and aspect ratios. When the image is smaller than the image control it is in, it is always at the top left of the image control container, causing it to look off center. Are there any properties on the image control itself that say where to position the image within its container? Thanks.
