Hey Devendra Anchor property is only available in winforms. However, this you can use this functionality to resize your control by using verticalAlignment and horizontalAlignment properties that contains Top, Bottom, Right, Stretch. Suppose you want to resize your control horizontally then use the demo snippet Select your control-> properties -> HorizontalAlignment -> Stretch Also set the width property to auto Hope it helps

In order to resize according to screen, just split grid by grid.

I think we can use DockPanel for automatic resizing other Panels like Canvas,StackPanel,WrapPanel doesn't allow controls to resize. DockPanel allows to Dock controls Top,Bottom,Left, or Right. And set Margin only for the desired coordinates. Please find an example below. Here the TreeView Control and Button is Docked and Margin is set only on the right and Botton Please paste the XAMLcode here so can provide a more clear answer
