    <p>First off, I apologize if this question has been asked before. I've done a bit of Google searching but I'm not really sure what the correct keywords are to find what I'm looking for.</p> <p>Basically my problem is simple to understand. I have a Silverlight project and on the MainPage.xaml I have declared a UserControl and given it a height and a width.</p> <pre><code>&lt;Grid&gt; &lt;control:AlarmButton Height="50" Width="50" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now within AlarmButton I have a button that has its own Control Template which is set up the way I want. It has a content presenter within it right now.</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" x:Class="Alarms.AlarmButton"&gt; &lt;UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;ControlTemplate x:Key="StatusButton" &gt; &lt;Viewbox Stretch="Fill"&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Path x:Name="Base" StrokeThickness="1.0" Stroke="#ff000000" StrokeMiterLimit="1.0" Fill="#ff666666" Data="F1 M 99.500,99.500 L 0.500,99.500 L 0.500,0.500 L 99.500,0.500 L 99.500,99.500 Z"/&gt; &lt;Path x:Name="Interior" Opacity="0.5" StrokeThickness="1.0" Stroke="#ff191919" StrokeMiterLimit="1.0" Data="F1 M 97.500,97.500 L 2.500,97.500 L 2.500,2.500 L 97.500,2.500 L 97.500,97.500 Z"&gt; &lt;Path.Fill&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush MappingMode="Absolute" StartPoint="2.500,2.499" EndPoint="97.500,97.499"&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops&gt; &lt;GradientStop Offset="0.00" Color="#3FFFFFFF"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Offset="0.151" Color="Transparent"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Offset="1.00" Color="#BFFFFFFF"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#53FFFFFF" Offset="0.655"/&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush.Transform&gt; &lt;MatrixTransform Matrix="1.000,0.000,-0.000,-1.000,0.000,100.000" /&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush.Transform&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt; &lt;/Path.Fill&gt; &lt;/Path&gt; &lt;Path x:Name="LargeShader" Opacity="0.1" Fill="#ffffffff" Data="F1 M 94.667,18.667 L 94.667,94.667 L 6.333,94.667 C 6.333,94.667 94.667,67.348 94.667,18.667 Z"/&gt; &lt;Path x:Name="SmallShader" Opacity="0.1" Fill="#ffffffff" Data="F1 M 94.667,43.667 L 94.667,94.667 L 20.333,94.667 C 20.333,94.667 94.667,76.334 94.667,43.667 Z"/&gt; &lt;ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}" Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/Viewbox&gt; &lt;/ControlTemplate&gt; &lt;/UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;Grid &gt; &lt;Button Template="{StaticResource StatusButton}" &gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="this is a text box" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" /&gt; &lt;/Button&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/UserControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>Later on I'm going to bind the Text property to a DependencyProperty so I can use this button with multiple text. What I want to happen is if the text is too big it will ellipse it and not have the box change or the textblock overflow. I just need to bind the height and width of the TextBlock to some values to contain it.</p> <p>My question is this; is it possible for the TextBlock to bind its height and width to the values as declared in the MainPage.xaml? Or is this more complicated than I imagine? Is there a better way to go about this?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>This might give a little more info on what I'm trying to accomplish. This is my "button" with RobSiklos' changes</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/82xuh.jpg" alt="Button"></p>

    1. CODo you need the `TextBlock` to be a grand-child of the `ViewBox`? Does it needs to grow when it's short?

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.
