Hi
I want to have some of my control fill the entire height and width of it's parent control.

For example:
Lets say I have a Grid and in it I have a Border control. The Grid's height and width is both set to 500. Now I want my border to fill this area.

In ASP.NET you would just say the width and height is 100%, but SilverLight does not support this.

How can I get the same effect in Silverlight?

I tried Googling and I'm not really finding what I'm looking for... maybe I'm searching for the wrong key words or something :-O

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

So simple and yet I didn't even think to check what other properties might be available in HorizontalAlignment.
Thanks.
