2. Set the Orientation property of the StackPanel to Vertical, so that we can stack the child controls vertically.

3. Now add a few buttons inside it and assign a content. Here's our markup of the StackPanel with two buttons:

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" 
     Margin="10"> 
    <Button Content="Click Here"/> 
    <Button Content="Click Here"/> 
</StackPanel> 

4. Build and run the application. You will see the following UI:
