'How can I specify a margin as a percentage?

I have just started using WPF. I'm getting my head around styling system since. I come from a CSS background and I would like to set margin in percentage.

    <Style TargetType="TextBlock" x:Key="workflowNameTextBlock">            
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="50"/>            
    </Style>

Currently value is set in pixels, but I would like to set it in %, i.e. 50%.

How can I achieve this?

Instead of using Margin, you can do this via a Grid.

Just place your control within a Grid element, and use 3 columns and 3 rows. The column/row sizing can be done as percentages of the containing element.
