Hi,
I want to change the just the left margin of a WPF textbox via XAML:
This code obviously does not work :
<TextBox Margin.Left ="0"/>
What would be the correct code, does anyone here know ?

I can't see your code - but it would normally go like this:
<TextBox Margin="5 0 0 0"/>
First number is left, then top, then right and finally bottom margin.
Hope this helps!

i would use commas: Margin="0,0,0,0" it makes it easier to read

@MadSeb: The value is of type Thickness - which means it is a all-or-nothing setter. You can do it in code-behind tho.

. @MuadDib: All a matter of taste - I find commas irritating :-)

You can place the TextBlock inside a Canvas and set Canvas.Left attached property in the TextBlock. Like <canvas><TextBlock Canvas.Left="5" /> </Canvas>

@Avatar: Great idea! Should probably use a DockPanel instead, though to get the TextBox to fill - and set the Padding="5 0 0 0" on the DockPanel.
