Differences Between Container Controls
Comparison of Container, Container Layout, and Page Container controls, including their sizing behavior and recommended use cases.
Learn the main differences between the container types:
| A single container which can hold controls and other containers within it. | A container layout that groups several simple containers, and helps build a complex app layout. | Page containers host another page in the current page. |
| Grows based on the size of its contents. | Has a fixed height, while its width depends on the screen width. | Grows based on the size of the hosted page. |

Example on How to Align Controls Using Containers
Assume your app contains a form, where you want to collect the following information from the user: First Name, Last Name, Email & School. While Email & School input boxes can be one below the other, we want the First Name and Last Name available side by side.
This can be accomplished by the following steps:
- Add a new Container.
- Change the layout of the Container to Horizontal.
- Add the two Textboxes within the container.
