### Reply by Amit Singh

These are used for layout management in XAML we use 3 container Canvas, StackPanel and Grid\
**Example:**\
\

```
<Canvas Background="Blue">
   <TextBlock Height="50" Width="50" Canvas.Left="15" Canvas.Top="15" />
</Canvas>
```

\
and \
\

```
<StackPanel>
   <TextBlock Height="50" Width="50" />
   <TextBlock Height="50" Width="50" />  
</StackPanel>
```
