If you hard code Height and Width or, align elements only using margins you'll run into scaling problems with different resolutions. You need a clever grid layout where you only assign Row and Columns to controls and set their Horizontal and Vertical Alignments. Thus, even if the grid resizes the relative arrangement of elements will not alter and the layout will remain consistent. If you don't take advantage of higher resolutions in your application (like displaying more items) you may consider using Canvas inside a ViewBox which basically Scales to Fit everything.

Hi one of the simplest way to do that is do not set the width and Height of window and set the property SizeToContent=WidthAndHeight as

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight">
<Grid Height="226">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>            
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

I hope this will help.
