A DockPanel contains a collection of Control objects, which are in the cast to list DockPanel control.
If you set the LastChildFill property to true, the last child element of a DockPanel always fills the remaining space, regardless of any other dock value that you set on the last child element. To dock a child element in another direction, you must set the LastChildFill property to false, which is the default setting and must also specify an explicit dock direction for the last child element.
