If you want the window to fit the screen size, why not just maximize it? – Kent Boogaart

Just bind SystemParameters properties to your window properties.

<Window x:Class="YourWindow"
    Height="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemParameters.WorkArea}, Path=Height}" 
    Width="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemParameters.WorkArea}, Path=Width}">

See System.Windows.SystemParameters

You have properties like

  • PrimaryScreenWidth
  • PrimaryScreenHeight
  • VirtualScreenHeight
  • VirtualScreenWidth
  • WorkArea

etc.
