Based on @Wild_A answer I just subscribed to the SizeChanged event, and added this event handler:

private void Window_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        Rect workArea = SystemParameters.WorkArea;
        this.Left = (workArea.Width - e.NewSize.Width) / 2 + workArea.Left;
        this.Top = (workArea.Height - e.NewSize.Height) / 2 + workArea.Top;
    }
    catch (Exception ex) { ... Handel exception; }
}
