    <p>Regarding your annoyance at the sizing of buttons, this is something that seems to be targeted at the designer in the designer/developer workflow, while you're clearly working on the developer portion. For the sake of development, I always apply a few styles in my App.xaml to ensure somewhat better button sizing. For example, in the application tag in your app.xaml file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Application.Resources&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="Button"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="60" /&gt; &lt;Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="23" /&gt; &lt;Setter Property="Margin" Value="3" /&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/Application.Resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>Regarding your actual question:</p> <p>The problem is that your DockPanel is stretching to the width of the text and the button will naturally expand to fill the available area. If you want the quick and dirty solution you can do something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left"&gt; &lt;Button x:Name="ButtonFavorite" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Content="Customers" Margin="10" Width="Auto" MaxWidth="100" Click="ButtonFavorite_Click"&gt; &lt;/Button&gt; &lt;/DockPanel&gt; </code></pre> <p>Note the MaxWidth. If you want a more composable result, isolate your button in another panel. (I'm using a stackpanel because I believe someone else already used a grid in their example):</p> <pre><code>&lt;DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left"&gt; &lt;StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="Top" Orientation="Horizontal"&gt; &lt;Button x:Name="ButtonFavorite" Content="Customers" Margin="10" Width="Auto" Click="ButtonFavorite_Click" /&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Top" Text="this is a long text which makes the button stretch across the window, if this text is just a couple words, the button will be smaller, and this drives me up the wall" Margin="10" TextWrapping="Wrap" /&gt; &lt;/DockPanel&gt; </code></pre> <p>I like the StackPanel in this case because I find myself using it to create the horizontal "bar" of buttons along the bottom of a Form- err- Window in the right corner.</p>

    1. COregarding your Application.Resources idea, I tried it out with a button inside a Grid.Row which has a height of 10 and the button unfortunately does not expand its height its MinHeight. I would like to find something which allows buttons to not be so sensitive to their surroundings.

    2. COregarding your MaxWidth idea, that has the same issue as just setting the width, if the button might be called "Application Creation Instructions" or might be called "Help" and I want the button to resize accordingly.

    3. COPlease note that MaxWidth is the hack solution. As you see, I think the more composable solution is the StackPanel with Orientation="Horizontal"

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
