Alignment of label in Dataform

One of the forum users was looking to align the label in the Datafield of DataForm with the following code

<dataFormToolkit:DataField>
    <dataFormToolkit:DataField.Label>
        <TextBlock Text=”Categories” VerticalAlignment=”Top” />
    </dataFormToolkit:DataField.Label>
    <Grid>
        <StackPanel x:Name=”listCategories” />
    </Grid>
</dataFormToolkit:DataField>

sure enough, it doesnt work. I am not sure if there is  easier way, but styling the Label does work, changes made to the default style in bold

<Style x:Key=”LabelStyle1″ TargetType=”dataInput:Label”>
         <Setter Property=”IsTabStop” Value=”False”/>
         <Setter Property=”Template”>
          <Setter.Value>
           <ControlTemplate TargetType=”dataInput:Label”>
            <StackPanel Orientation=”Horizontal”>
             <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
              <VisualStateGroup x:Name=”CommonStates”>
               <VisualState x:Name=”Normal”/>
               <VisualState x:Name=”Disabled”/>
              </VisualStateGroup>
              <VisualStateGroup x:Name=”ValidationStates”>
               <VisualState x:Name=”Valid”/>
               <VisualState x:Name=”Invalid”/>
              </VisualStateGroup>
              <VisualStateGroup x:Name=”RequiredStates”>
               <VisualState x:Name=”NotRequired”/>
               <VisualState x:Name=”Required”>
                <Storyboard>
                 <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Duration=”0″ Storyboard.TargetName=”ContentControl” Storyboard.TargetProperty=”FontWeight”>
                  <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime=”0″ Value=”SemiBold”/>
                 </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                </Storyboard>
               </VisualState>
              </VisualStateGroup>
             </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
             <Border Background=”{TemplateBinding Background}” BorderBrush=”{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}”
       BorderThickness=”{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}” CornerRadius=”2″ Padding=”{TemplateBinding Padding}” VerticalAlignment=”Top”>
              <ContentControl x:Name=”ContentControl” FontFamily=”{TemplateBinding FontFamily}”
        FontSize=”{TemplateBinding FontSize}” FontStretch=”{TemplateBinding FontStretch}” FontWeight=”{TemplateBinding FontWeight}”
        HorizontalContentAlignment=”{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}”
        IsTabStop=”False” VerticalContentAlignment=”{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}”
        Cursor=”{TemplateBinding Cursor}” HorizontalAlignment=”{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}”
        VerticalAlignment=”{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}” Content=”{TemplateBinding Content}”
        ContentTemplate=”{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}” Foreground=”{TemplateBinding Foreground}”/>
             </Border>
            </StackPanel>
           </ControlTemplate>
          </Setter.Value>
         </Setter>
        </Style>

<dataFormToolkit:DataField   LabelStyle=”{StaticResource LabelStyle1}”  >
           <dataFormToolkit:DataField.Label>                               
                    <TextBlock Text=”Categories”  />                               
           </dataFormToolkit:DataField.Label>
           <Grid>
              <StackPanel x:Name=”listCategories”>
                 <CheckBox Content=”Checkbox1″/>
                 <CheckBox Content=”Checkbox2″/>
                 <CheckBox Content=”Checkbox3″/>
                 <CheckBox Content=”Checkbox4″/>
                 <CheckBox Content=”Checkbox5″/>
               </StackPanel>
            </Grid>
</dataFormToolkit:DataField>
