Ok Thanks
What I don't understand is that according to the text I have, it should work. But in reality it doesn't. I thought that there was something I was doing wrong. I irks me that something should work but in practice doesn't. I am wondering how many other hiccups I am going to hit.

In the snippit below, I was expecting the two buttons to fill the entire space of the StackPanel while observing the margin requirements. However the two buttons are sized to their contents and not stretched. <DockPanel LastChildFill="True"> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" > <Button Content="Button" Margin="20" Name="button1" Click="button1_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" /> <Button Content="Button" Margin="20" Name="button2" Click="button2_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" /> </StackPanel> <Grid > <Ellipse Name="ellipse1" Stroke="Black" Margin="50" /> </Grid> </DockPanel> This does correlate with what my text WPF 4 unleashed page 104 says. Is there some other factor involved? Sorry that this such a basic question.
