Thanks everybody, That's a known bug in Button's default template, and should be fixed in RTM.

Hello, this is a known problem which is caused by Button's default template. As you've probably noticed, there's a curve in a Button.

Nice as it is, this will cause layout problems. Add this Path to a WPF's Button's template, and you'll get the same result. So you have to override the Button's template, and remove this Path or so...

Bug? HorizontalAlignment not respected in Silverlight as in WPF

I ran into a bug doing some layout with nested controls. Here's a simplified repro:

In WPF setting HorizontalAlignment on a control will let it resize itself if it's inside a stretched element. For example:

This will show a button not much larger than it's content, centered in the Window. However, doing the same in Silverlight fails:

The button is stretched across the entire window.

My WPF-layout-powers are not that strong, so it's quite possible that I'm missing something here. But it does appear as if SL isn't behaving how it should.

Thanks,
Michael
