Summary

That concludes our tour of the layout properties that child elements can use to influence the way they appear on the screen. Although you can experiment with them by manually typing XAML and observing the results, tools such as Blend and the Visual Studio designer make it even easier to get a feel for how values for complicated properties such as RenderTransform and Projection affect any element.
