I have a button, the content template of which contains two TextBlocks. How can I program the button to adjust to the amount of text in the TextBlocks?

I only know what text is going into the buttons at run time, not design time.

I was trying to go down the road of putting the TextBlocks in a Viewbox, but a ViewBox can only have one child element.

Thanks, Mark
