WPF - There is no effect in the Margins set when there is a scrollviewer

Question

In my .xaml file, I have something like in the following.

    <TextBlock   Text="......"   ..... Margin="5,3,4,2"/>
    <ScrollViewer  Margin="2,3,7,9">
              <TextBlock Margin=3,6,5,7">
    </ScrollViewer>

There is no effect in the margins set for above controls. No effect at all. Is it because of the ScrollViewer which contains the second TextBlock ?

code seems vaild, and working in simple application. – Arun Selva Kumar Apr 28 '15 at 11:04 — Arun Selva Kumar, Apr 28 '15 at 11:04

Try setting VerticalAlignment and HorizontalAlignment for each element with a margin like this

VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="20,20"

Chances are the margins are working but since you don't have a fixed position for the elements it might be hard to notice the difference especially since your margins are on the smaller side.
