Hi people

On Kevin Goff's recommendation I got the book "Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Step by Step"

In the very first stage they describe creating a simple WPF form with a label, textbox and button.
I followed it exactly, and the button is the same height as the textbox in the IDE.

However after compiling and running it, the button shows up slightly larger and taller than the textbox and the form looks like crap because the button looks mis-sized.

How can I make sure that the development and runtime is properly WISIWYG and if this were to happen to a form with many buttons and textboxes, it would look a mess.

An image of what I am talking about can be viewed here:

Notice that in design time the button and textbox appear to have the same height, but in the runtime the button has grown downwards and looks terrible.

I am sure it has something to do with the Margin since the button resizes with the form but cannot see what.

Thanks.
