Assume something simple like:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="300" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="300" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Name="MainTextBlock" Grid.Column="1" Text="Hello" />
</Grid>
How can I get the absolute position of MainTextBlock?

An element with position: absolute; is positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed). However; if an absolute positioned element has no positioned ancestors, it uses the document body, and moves along with page scrolling.
The position of (X, Y) means the co-ordinate of an element at the top-left point in a document. X represent the horizontal position and Y represent the vertical position. Use element. getBoundingClientRect() property to get the position of an element.
Absolute Positioning You can use two values top and left along with the position property to move an HTML element anywhere in the HTML document. Move Left - Use a negative value for left. Move Right - Use a positive value for left. Move Up - Use a negative value for top.
I think this will work...
var ttv = MainTextBlock.TransformToVisual(Window.Current.Content);
Point screenCoords = ttv.TransformPoint(new Point(0, 0));
