Let's say I have a simple TextBox next to a Label:
<StackPanel> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <Label Margin="3">MyLabel</Label> <TextBox Margin="3" Width="100">MyText</TextBox> </StackPanel> ... </StackPanel> This yields the following result:
As you can see, the base lines of MyLabel and MyText are not aligned, which looks ugly. Of course, I could start playing around with the margins until they match up, but since this is such a common requirement I'm sure that WPF provides a much easier and more elegant solution, which I just haven't found yet...

We specify the margin-bottom of our <div> element. Then, we set the display of the <label> element to "inline-block" and give a fixed width. After that, set the text-align property to "right", and the labels will be aligned with the inputs on the right side.
If you want to center each line, use a TextBlock instead, and set TextAlignment="Center" .
VerticalAlignment = "Center" and padding You can reach the text within a WPF-TextBox with the combination VerticalAlignment and Padding. Like VerticalAlignment = "Center" Padding = "5" Padding causes the text field to become larger and adapt to the surrounding element.
This article focuses on the content alignment of elements. Content Alignment. The content of content controls in WPF is dealt using various properties. These two properties are HorizontalContentAlignment and VerticalContentAlignment. These properties are defined in the System.
This behaviour is, I think, caused by the fact that the TextBox defaults to a vertical alignment of Stretch, which causes it to fill the available space and have the extra couple of pixels under the text. If you use this instead:
<StackPanel> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <Label >MyLabel</Label> <TextBox VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="100">MyText</TextBox> </StackPanel> </StackPanel> ... you should see a cleaner result.
