The built-in layout panels in Windows Phone are: Canvas, StackPanel, Grid
CANVAS:
Canvas defines an area within which you can explicitly position child elements by coordinates relative to the Canvas area. Canvas is useful for scenarios where the UI elements contained within it never move.
You can position the control inside the Canvas by specifying x and y coordinates. The x and y coordinates are specified by using
the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top
attached properties. Canvas.Left specifies the object's distance from the left side of the containing Canvas (the x-coordinate), and Canvas.Top specifies the object's distance from the top of the containing Canvas (the y-coordinate).
XAML Code:
<Canvas Background="Gray">
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="30" Text="Query Home Canvas Sample"
Canvas.Left="41" Canvas.Top="77" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="412" Height="34"/>
<Rectangle Canvas.Left="115" Canvas.Top="184"
Fill="red" Width="200" Height="200" />
</Canvas>
