How can you align a canvas background in WPF?

Question

I have set a canvas' background to an image of a company logo. I would like for this image to be aligned to the bottom right corner of the canvas.
Is it possible to do this, or would it require for the image to be added into the canvas as a child? That would not work with this program as all children of the canvas are handled differently.

Thank You

AFAIK The WPF Canvas needs child UI elements to be positioned using absolute co-ordinates. To achieve the right-bottom-anchored effect, I think you'd need to handle the window resize event, recalculate and apply the Top,Left co-ordinates for the child Image element to always stick to the right buttom corner.

<Window x:Class="HelloWPF.Window1" xmlns...
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="339">
    <Canvas>
        <Image Canvas.Left="195" Canvas.Top="175" Height="87" Name="image1" Stretch="Fill" Width="122" Source="dilbert2666700071126ni1.gif"/>
    </Canvas>
</Window>

How about containing the canvas and image inside of a Grid control like so?

<Window ...>
  <Grid>
    <Canvas/>
    <Image HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" .../>
  <Grid>
</Window>

Will this work? (It worked for me, anyway.)

  <Canvas>
    <Canvas.Background>
      <ImageBrush ImageSource="someimage.jpg" AlignmentX="Right" 
          AlignmentY="Bottom" Stretch="None" />
    </Canvas.Background>
  </Canvas>
