Question

I am making windows 8 app in c#. Are there any attributes in Xaml that makes a items in toolbox

layout_width="match_parent"
layout_height="wrap_content"

like in android xml?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In xaml, if you make a grid with rows like this:

<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefintion Width="*"/>
        <RowDefintion Width="Auto"/> 
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
</Grid>

Rows that have Auto Width resize to fit their contents. Rows that have * Width equally share the available space with other * Width Columns. To create an item that fills its container, simply put the control in a * row and column and set the HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment on the control to Stretch.

To get a control that wraps to the next line, simply use a WrapGrid.
