tips on developing resolution independent application

Question

Is it a good practice to find the workarea measurement and set some properties in code so that it could be bound to Control\'s margin or height/Width properties in xaml?

Answer 1

Small correction to the answer of Fredrik Hedblad:

because you have set the DependencyProperty "Denominators" in the Grid element:

you must call the GetDominator method using the grid. Instead of:

private static void CalculateScale(Window window)
{
    var denominators = GetDenominators(window);
}

you must use something like this:

private static void mainElement_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
{
    var mainElement = sender as FrameworkElement;
    var window = GetParentWindow(mainElement);

    CalculateScale(window, mainElement);
}

private static void CalculateScale(Window window, FrameworkElement mainElement)
{
    var denominators = GetDenominators(mainElement);
}
