I'm studying XAML from basic with MS documents, it says alter margin numbers to move control. Is it only way to move control? I want to drag it to position I want.

What I have tried:

<Canvas Height="200" Width="300" RenderTransformOrigin="0.717,0.524" Margin="500,500,0,0">
            <Button Canvas.Left ="50">Hello</Button>
</Canvas>

Snaplines help you align controls relative to each other. If snapping to snaplines is enabled, when you drag a control relative to other controls, alignment boundaries appear
