WPF equivalent of margin-top?

Question

How do you do the equivalent of css's margin-top in WPF?

I have an image which I want to add a margin on the top, but all I can seem to get to work is margin, which effects each side of the image.

Answer 1

You can specify the margin for each side (in that order : left, top, right, bottom)

<Image Source="image.png" Margin="0,10,0,0"/>

Answer 2

You could use the left, top, right, bottom numbers to specify the margin for any control in WPF

For example:

<Button Margin="10 5 10 10" />

Here Left -> 10, Top -> 5, Right - 10 and Bottom -> 10

Answer 3

the Margin property is what you are looking for. There are 3 different ways to set the margin. The first one (see below) sets all of the margins to the same value--it expands out to "0,0,0,0". the second one sets the left and right sides to 1 and the top and bottom sides to 0--it expands out to "1,0,1,0". and the third sets each side to an individual value (in this case, 5). Margin values, in order:first value is left side second value is top
third value is right side fourth value is bottom

Margin="5";      <!-- same as "5,5,5,5" -->
Margin="5,2"     <!-- same as "5,2,5,2" -->
Margin="5,6,7,8" <!-- set left,top,right,bottom independantly -->
