# How to: Set Margins of Elements and Controls
This example describes how to set the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Margin%2A> property, by changing any existing property value for the margin in code-behind. The <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Margin%2A> property is a property of the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement> base element, and is thus inherited by a variety of controls and other elements.
This example is written in [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)], with a code-behind file that the [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-xaml-md.md)] refers to. The code-behind is shown in both a C# and a Microsoft Visual Basic version.
## Example
[!code-xaml[FEMarginProgrammatic#XAML](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FEMarginProgrammatic/CSharp/default.xaml#xaml)]
[!code-csharp[FEMarginProgrammatic#Handler](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FEMarginProgrammatic/CSharp/default.xaml.cs#handler)]
[!code-vb[FEMarginProgrammatic#Handler](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FEMarginProgrammatic/VisualBasic/default.xaml.vb#handler)]
