in wpf how do i make a datagrid fit the window height

Question

I have a grid with 3 columns and 2 rows

Answer 1

I had the same problem but binding to the Window height did not completely solve the problem for me. In my case the DataGrid still extended 2 to 3 inches below the Window's viewable area. I believe this was because my DataGrid started about 2 to 3 inches below the top of the Window.

In the end I found that it was not necessary to bind the DataGrid's height at all. All I had to do was change the DataGrid's direct container.

For me, the following XAML setup causes the DataGrid to extend beyond the size of the Window when enough rows are added. Notice that the DataGrid sits within a StackPanel.

However, simply removing the StackPanel fixed the problem for me.

As the original post is quite old, I should note that I am using VS2017 and .Net Framework 4.6.1 but I am not sure if this has any bearing.
