Prevent resizing of page window in WPF

I have a WPF app that is set to a specific size for a reason. However the user still has the ability to resize the page. I have set all the maximum page sizes and have achieved three different results, none of which suit my need.

1) The window goes full screen with my app in the top left corner. The rest of the screen is filled with the page background colour.

2) The window goes full screen, page stays central and the rest of the screen is filled with white space.

3) This is the worst solution... The window resizes and shows all the junk i have lying around outside of the page!

All i want to do is prevent someone from changing the window size at all! I am new to wpf and especially new to xaml so want time to learn how to set up auto resizing properly. unfortunately now is not that time (deadlines!).

Thanks

Set the ResizeMode property of the Window to NoResize then:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Title="Window13" Height="300" Width="300" ResizeMode="NoResize">

...

If you do want the user to be able to resize the window it can never have a fixed size...
