The following example demonstrates how to use the VerticalAlignment enumeration in code and Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML).
Dim myTextBlock As New TextBlock() myTextBlock.FontSize = 18 myTextBlock.HorizontalAlignment = Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Center myTextBlock.Text = "VerticalAlignment Sample" Grid.SetRow(myTextBlock, 0) Dim myButton1 As New Button() myButton1.VerticalAlignment = Windows.VerticalAlignment.Top myButton1.Content = "Button 1 (Top)" Grid.SetRow(myButton1, 1) Dim myButton2 As New Button() myButton2.VerticalAlignment = Windows.VerticalAlignment.Bottom myButton2.Content = "Button 2 (Bottom)" Grid.SetRow(myButton2, 2) Dim myButton3 As New Button() myButton3.VerticalAlignment = Windows.VerticalAlignment.Center myButton3.Content = "Button 3 (Center)" Grid.SetRow(myButton3, 3) Dim myButton4 As New Button() myButton4.VerticalAlignment = Windows.VerticalAlignment.Stretch myButton4.Content = "Button 4 (Stretch)" Grid.SetRow(myButton4, 4)
