Drawing ellipse in silverlight - incorrect placement

I've got this function that just draws an ellipse and places it on the given grid

    public void drawEllipse(double top, double left, double height, double width, Grid grid)
    {
        Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse();
        ellipse.Height = height;
        ellipse.Width = width;
        SolidColorBrush brush = new SolidColorBrush();
        brush.Color = Colors.Black;
        ellipse.Stroke = brush;
        ellipse.Fill = brush;
        Canvas.SetTop(ellipse, top);
        Canvas.SetLeft(ellipse, left);
        grid.Children.Add(ellipse);
    }

However, for some reason, it only wants to place the ellipse in the center of the grid, or (given fourth quadrant arguments) the fourth quadrant of the grid.

Am I doing something wrong?

You are adding your ellipse to a Grid control, but you're setting the Canvas.Top and Canvas.Left properties. Without the ellipse actually being on a Canvas, those two properties don't do anything. Either add a Canvas and use Canvas.Children.Add instead of Grid.Children.Add, or change your Canvas.SetTop and Canvas.SetLeft calls with calls to Grid.SetRow and Grid.SetColumn.
