    I am trying to align the border to the center of the popup. But it aligns only at the top left corner. can anyone suggest how to align the border to the center of the popup control.

    I am using .Net framework 4.5.1 and WIRNT application.

     <Grid Name="MainGrid" Background="Green">
    <Popup Name="mainpopup" IsOpen="True"  >
            <Border Name="MainBorder" Background="LightBlue" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Height="400" Width="1300">

            </Border>
    </Popup>
</Grid>

    Additional Details: In My application (winrt application) the border height is set as Auto it takes the height according to its contents height.

    thanks in advance.

    the popup class fits to the size of his content. so what you can do:

    <Grid Name="MainGrid" Background="Green" SizeChanged="MainGrid_SizeChanged">
        <Popup Name="mainpopup" IsOpen="True">
            <Grid x:Name="FullSize">
                <Border Name="MainBorder" Background="LightBlue" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Height="400" Width="1300">

                </Border>
            </Grid>
        </Popup>
    </Grid>

    and in c#:

    private void MainGrid_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            FullSize.Width = MainGrid.ActualWidth;
            FullSize.Height = MainGrid.ActualHeight;
        }
