Full screen in WPF application

I am developing a WPF application which will be displayed in Full screen. In addition, the application should work on many tablets of multiple dimensions. I'd like my application to run in full screen independently from its dimensions.

What is the best practice to accomplish this task?

This method worked for me when using ToggleButton to toggle between fullscreen and normal mode.

private void btnFullScreen_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.WindowStyle == WindowStyle.None)
    {
        // Exit fullscreen
        this.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.CanResize;
        this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow;
        //this.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
    }
    else
    {
        // Enter fullscreen
        this.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;
        this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
        this.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
        this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
    }
}

fullscreen:

oldstate = WindowState;
WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;
Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
Activate();

going back:

WindowState = oldstate;
WindowStyle = WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow;
ResizeMode = ResizeMode.CanResize;

Set the WindowStyle to None, and the WindowState to Maximized. This can be done like this:

WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;

Or in xaml:

<Window x:Class="FullScreenApplication.Window"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Full Screen WPF"
    WindowState="Maximized"
    WindowStyle="None">

And simply click ALT-TAB to escape from your full screen wpf. It allows you to switch between other applications.

Just set the WindowState to Maximized, and the WindowStyle to None.
