I want my Silverlight app to fill the entire browser window. I’ve set the plugin object width and height to 100%, and set my LayoutRoot container’s height and width to Auto, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

<form id='form1' runat='server'>     <asp:ScriptManager ID='ScriptManager1' runat='server' />     <asp:Silverlight ID='Silverlight1' runat='server'          Source='~/ClientBin/Client.xap'         MinimumVersion='2.0.30818.0'         AutoUpgrade='true'         Height='100%'          Width='100%'>     </asp:Silverlight> </form>  <UserControl      x:Class='Client.Page'     xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'      xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'      Height='Auto'     Width='Auto'>     <Grid          x:Name='LayoutRoot'          Background='#084E85'         ShowGridLines='True'>         <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>             <ColumnDefinition Width='280' />             <ColumnDefinition Width='Auto' />         </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>         <Grid.RowDefinitions>             <RowDefinition Height='80' />             <RowDefinition Height='Auto' />             <RowDefinition Height='600' />         </Grid.RowDefinitions>          ...Remaining content here...     </Grid> </UserControl>

Disclaimer: I searched for an answer first, finding this thread. However, as you can see by my code that isn’t working for me.

  1. First, I don’t set the height/width in the user control. Instead, I set the DesignHeight and DesignWidth (in the ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008‘ namespace) and I set the alignment to stretch

    <UserControl ...      xmlns:d='http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008'      HorizontalAlignment='Stretch' VerticalAlignment='Stretch'     d:DesignHeight='1050' d:DesignWidth='1680'>

    In my HTML, I set the Height and Width to 100% like this…

    <div style='height: 100%; width: 100%; position: fixed;'>         <asp:Silverlight runat='server' Source='~/ClientBin/My.xap' ID='MyId'              Width='100%' Height='100%' /> </div>

    At that point, everything works for me to have it take the entire window.
