Hi Amir,

if you mean margins of a child element of the Canvas you can achieve the same effect with Canvas.Left/Top.

The main difference is that the inner controls in the Canvas are positioned absolutely towards its left and top sides and in the Grid they are positioned relatively.

Hi Joe,

Using the FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment property in the child element will not work with the Canvas. This is mentioned here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.horizontalalignment(VS.95).aspx

You can use a Grid to achieve a horizontal or a vertical alignment.

Regarding the second question I wrote a small article about it:

How about what happens if you use a Canvas without specifying the attached properties and use HorizontalAlignment in the child element? Also, how does a canvas deal with the Measure/Arrange process when it is being layed out by a parent panel?
