uniform

uniform A value measured in pixels that specifies a uniform Thickness. The uniform value is applied to all four Thickness properties (Left, Top, Right, Bottom).

left+right

left+right A value measured in pixels that specifies the Left and Right of a symmetrical Thickness.

top+bottom

top+bottomA value measured in pixels that specifies the Top and Bottom of a symmetrical Thickness.

left top right bottom

left top right bottom Values measured in pixels that specify the four possible dimension properties of a Thickness (Left, Top, Right, Bottom). In the syntaxes shown previously, you can also use a space instead of a comma as the delimiter between values.

## -property-value The amount of space around a [Block](block.md) element.

-remarks

Code migration note Microsoft Silverlight doesn't support a Margin property on Block or Paragraph. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) has a Margin property on Block and Paragraph, but also has a Padding property there that the Windows Runtime doesn't support. If you need per-paragraph padding support, you might need to put each Paragraph in a different Border container and use a Panel for layout control, and set Border.Padding on each Border. Or, use RichTextBlock.
