Question

Does anyone know what measurement units are used by Silverlight/WFP? For example, if I create a new button and set its height to 150, is that 150 pixels? points? millimeters?

I design all of my applications in Adobe Illustrator before proceeding to code, and although I try and set everything to the dimensions in my Illustrator file, the Silverlight application is usually larger.

Answer 1

MSDN’s documentation states that the FrameworkElement.Height property (for Silverlight) refers to:

The height, in pixels, of the object

However, for WPF it refers to:

a device-independent unit (1/96th inch) measurement

So, to answer your question… pixels for Silverlight, device-independent units for WPF.
