I want the content of a wpf button to be left aligned I tried the following but the text is still centered inside the button.

    <Button >
        <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
            <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="Save"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </Button>

What do i do?

Found it, it's HorizontalContentAlignment.

You don't need the StackPanel or the TextBlock. All you need is

<Button HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" Content="Save" />

You can align in two way, Horizontal and Vertical

<Button Content="Export" VerticalContentAlignment="Bottom" name="MyBtn1"  />

or

<Button Content="Export" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" name="MyBtn2"  />
