    text
    copied!<p>I'm walking through Adam Kinney's Blend tutorials (<a href="http://visitmix.com/labs/rosetta/EyesOfBlend/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://visitmix.com/labs/rosetta/EyesOfBlend/</a>) and I'm seeing some puzzling behavior with resizing objects. Specifically, at this step (<a href="http://visitmix.com/labs/rosetta/EyesOfBlend/Drawing/#08" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://visitmix.com/labs/rosetta/EyesOfBlend/Drawing/#08</a>) I'm seeing two different behaviors resizing elements. Before I group the 3 circles into a grid, if I select all 3 they all resize the way I would intend with each circle growing and shrinking to the appropriate size to maintain the original proportion and position. Now, if I group the circles into a grid and then try to resize, resizing still occurs but the proportion of the 2 inner circles does not hold. Ultimately, if I want to try resizing everything on the page, I get the latter behavior which isn't what I want. Is this intended behavior of resizing within a grid? XAML below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"&gt; &lt;Ellipse Margin="120,40" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="5"&gt; &lt;Ellipse.Fill&gt; &lt;RadialGradientBrush&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FFFDF365" Offset="0.349"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FFDEAE32" Offset="1"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FFFEE834" Offset="0.711"/&gt; &lt;/RadialGradientBrush&gt; &lt;/Ellipse.Fill&gt; &lt;/Ellipse&gt; &lt;Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="105" Margin="187,111,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="105"&gt; &lt;Ellipse Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="5"&gt; &lt;Ellipse.Fill&gt; &lt;RadialGradientBrush&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FF545454" Offset="1"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="White" Offset="0.845"/&gt; &lt;/RadialGradientBrush&gt; &lt;/Ellipse.Fill&gt; &lt;/Ellipse&gt; &lt;Ellipse Fill="#FF935D09" Margin="31,30,30,31" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="5"/&gt; &lt;Ellipse Fill="White" Margin="38,38,50,50" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="0"/&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre>
