<toolkit:DockPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot">
    <Button Content="Create New Employee" Height="27" Width="136"></Button>
    <sdk:DataGrid Background="White">

    </sdk:DataGrid>

</toolkit:DockPanel>

Answer 1

The attached property lives in the same namaspace as the DockPanel so you need to use toolkit:DockPanel.Dock:

<toolkit:DockPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot">
    <Button toolkit:DockPanel.Dock="Top" Content="Create New Employee" />    
</toolkit:DockPanel>

Here is a good tutorial how to use the DockPanel in Silverlight.
