copied!<p>The problem seems to be (though can't say for sure without more XAML) that you're laying out your controls using the <strong>Margin</strong> to position elements. As you've just found out, this isn't necesarily the best approach to take. Silverlight has a wide range of layout containers that help you lay out your controls without requiring you to manually position each element.</p> <p>In this instance, it seems that you might be positioning controls vertically stacked above each other, for which you can use the <code>StackPanel</code> container. You simply add each child element to the <code>StackPanel</code> and it handles layout them out on top of each other. Once you've done this, because the next element is always below the <code>ListPicker</code>, when the <code>ListPicker</code> expands, the elements below it are pushed down.</p> <p>For more complex layouts you can use the <code>Grid</code> container (which is almost certainly the current parent container of your controls), but you should use rows and columns to ensure that elements don't "bleed" into each other. Note: The flexibility of the <code>Grid</code> element comes at a price and you shoudl carefully consider whether you need to use it or whether you can use a simpler container, especially for repeated containers in lists, for example.</p> <p>If you're new to the layout system in Silverlight, you may find this resource particularly useful: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645025(VS.95).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645025(VS.95).aspx</a></p>
