I've just started to play with WPF.
Is it possible to have the size of the text of a Label or TextBlock size itself to fill it's parent container?
Thanks, Mark

You can use a ViewBox to visually zoom something to fit within its container. The other solutions here work, but they only stretch the control, not its content. The ViewBox will stretch both.
<!-- Big grid, will stretch its children to fill itself -->
<Grid Width="1000" Height="1000">
<!-- The button is stretched, but its text remains teeny tiny -->
<Button>
<!-- The viewbox will stretch its content
to fit the final size of the button -->
<Viewbox
Margin="4"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Height="Auto">
<!-- The textblock and its contents are
stretched to fill its parent -->
<TextBlock
Text="Bartenders" />
</Viewbox>
</Button>
</Grid>
Depends on the parent container
Grid, DockPanel will stretch your control StackPanel, WrapPanel will leave it to the control to size itself..
Set HorizonalAlignment/VerticalAlignment to "stretch".
Use DockPanel as parent container
<DockPanel>
<TextBlock />
</DockPanel>
