                </Grid>
        	</Border>

I have inserted the last label but the border or grid is not stretching so i am unable to see the label fully.

What's wrong with just reading original MSDN documentation?

Solution 1

The height and width is defined by Content, inner content of this element.

[EDIT]

You still did not provide the code sample really manifesting the problem, but the problem is not the Border, not even close. This is the key:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.window.sizetocontent(v=vs.110).aspx[^].

One thing you really need to understand: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613548%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

Even though i set the Height there is no change.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 3-Sep-14 3:27am

Here is the problem: you are showing a fragment, not complete code sample. How are you using this border? really no content?
Then the size is defined by Padding...

If you are trying something else, please 1) explain precisely your expected layout; 2) create some simple but 100% complete ZAML, without any detail except this very problem; 3) explain what is the problem; why do you think what you see is not what you get.
In this case, use "Improve question". Format XAML properly in HTML, make sure the code is well readable. If you do that, I'm sure I'll be able to help you.

I have updated the question.

That's better, but... you may find it funny, but this is not an adequate example. I asked you XAML. This is not XAML, this is the fragment without the root element, which does not show the root of the problem. :-)

Why is that important? Is it a window or user control. For window, how its size is defined. Size of the window can define the size of content, or the size of content can define the size of the window. This is the key.

Besides, not need to show so big content inside the border. Maybe just one label would be enough.
