That is because you are expected to use an appropriate container for your controls. WPF != Winforms.

The problem is different: OP used to manual layout using the designer, a big habit. WPF, which naturally resist such things, is easier for keeping proper alignment and harder to screw up. I put some answer as Solution 1.

What is what? WPF? Winforms? Controls? A control container? Since you already know what a control container is, I can't imagine why you would ask that or even ask the question to begin with.

The question does not really make sense. In WPF, everything is aligned by definition. If you resize a window, alignment is not broken, unless you screw it up in some way. (As you did not show any code samples, I don't know how.) In this respect, WPF is more stable than Forms, where many people use ad-hoc explicit positioning of control (a big no-no).

For understanding WPF layout, please read:
