Hello,
I am new to WPF Application development and got a problem right on the first day of development, the problem is that my form is maximizing only horizontally and not vertically, i've tried what i knew but still there is no progress. Can anyone help me with a work around here?

Below is the thing that i am trying to achieve programmatically. (Obviously on click of maximize button)
(mw is the name of "MainWindow").

C#

mw.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;

i've tried the code below this line but no progress

C#

mw.MaxWidth = SystemParameters.MaximizedPrimaryScreenWidth;

Solution 1

Set the Height of the window to Auto in your xaml.
That should allow you to maximize to full height vertically.
