Set a border around a StackPanel.

orientation, stackpanel, wpf

Solution

You set DockPanel.Dock="Top" to the StackPanel, but the StackPanel is not a child of the DockPanel... the Border is. Your docking property is being ignored.

If you move DockPanel.Dock="Top" to the Border instead, both of your problems will be fixed :)

Problem

Here's my XAML code: ``` <Window x:Class="CarFinder.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Search for cars in TuMomo" Height="480" Width="600"> <DockPanel Margin="8"> <Border CornerRadius="6" BorderBrush="Gray" Background="LightGray" BorderThickness="2" Padding="8"> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Height="25"> <TextBlock FontSize="14" Padding="0 0 8 0"> Search: </TextBlock> <TextBox x:Name="txtSearchTerm" Width="400" /> <Image Source="/CarFinder;component/Images/Chrysanthemum.jpg" /> </StackPanel> </Border> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Height="25"> </StackPanel> </DockPanel> </Window> ``` The border is set around the entire window. And also, when I create another StackPanel it's added to the right of my previous StackPanel instead of being added under it. What's the reason for this?
