Silverlight equivalent of Flex's includeInLayout property?

Do Silverlight compone开发者_StackOverflow中文版nts have a property similar to Flex's includeInLayout property? I'm looking for something that will allow a Silverlight component or container to grow and/or shrink without affecting its neighbors or parents positioning or size.

No. There is only the Visible property (Visible/Collapsed). In the past I had to put whatever I wanted to hide in a container that was either statically sized or not sized to wrap it's contents (so that it still took up space). If the you use a container for only this purpose be sure to clean up any padding, etc.

Anything you can do using UIElement.RenderTransform will not update layout, so you can scale, translate, rotate without affecting the elements around.
