How do I set TextBlock height

How do I bind the height of TextBlock to the height of the parent control?

I have a TextBlock inside a grid and I want the TextBlock Height & Width to be the height & width of the grid cell without hard coding the values.

Cheers

AWC

Did you try on TextBlock:

VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"

Which is by default!

Viewbox is the easiest way:

<Page
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
  <Grid>  
  <Viewbox>
   <TextBlock Text="Hello World"/>
   </Viewbox>
  </Grid>
</Page>

Hope this helps,

Cheers, Anvaka

When a textbox is in a grid it gets its measures from the measures of the grid cell.
