StackPanel in WPF - XAML

Stackpanel XAML C#

The StackPanel in XAML is a simple and useful layout panel. The stack panel allows you to stack objects one on top of the other, depending on its orientation. It stretches it content in one direction, allowing you to stack item after item on top of each other. 

It is very useful to create any kind of lists. All WPF ItemsControls like ComboBox, ListBox or Menu use a StackPanel as their internal layout panel. The following wpf stackpanel example demonstrates how to work with stackpanel in xaml.
