Hello,

New to silverlight, building a RadBook content I have the following code

    
                        <Grid> 
        
                            <Image Source="Images/encart_fond_page.png" Width="399" Height="446" /> 
        
                            <Image Source="Images/encart_sur_fond.png" Width="390" Height="436" Margin="4,5,5,5" /> 
        
                            <Image Source="Images/encart_titre.png" Height="31" Margin="10,15,8,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" /> 
        
                            <StackPanel Margin="30,25,0,0">  
        
                                <TextBlock Text="SERVICES COMPLEMENTAIRES ET PARAMETRAGE"  HorizontalAlignment="Left"   
        
                                           FontFamily="Arial" Foreground="White" FontSize="11" /> 
        
                            </StackPanel> 
        
                            <Grid Margin="10,52,8,0" > 
        
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> 
        
                                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> 
        
                                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> 
        
                                <Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        
                                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>  
        
                                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> 
        
                                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> 
        
                                </Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        
                                <Rectangle Margin="0,0,0,0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Fill="White" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" />

And I dont undestand why the image encart_titre.pgn has not same horizontal margins a the sub grid rectangle ?
Is there something special when nesting grids ?
I just set the same Margin to image and grid, but the grid is larger and has smaller margin than the image ?

This is certainly an elementary item for a skilled user but I have been anable to find solution on general forums.

Thanks you for help.

Hello Christian Surieux,

Most probably your Image is smaller then the Grid. Stretch property of Image control have default value of Uniform. This will limit the horizontal stretching based on available height. Image.HorizontalAlignment default value is Stretch which will center the Image if its size is smaller then the available size. You can read more about HorizontalAlignment from here:
