C# – Auto Size Silverlight Application

csilverlight-2.0

I want to have my silverlight application to auto size it self to the contents within the application by changing the height of the Host div. How would you get what the size of the total app should be?

For instance I have a Grid with three rows, The top and bottom row have buttons and the middle row has a DataGrid that can change in height based on the page size the user has selected. I want the app to adjust the Host div's height to the height to display the entire app.

You've got two options here.

You can manipulate the DOM directly through the HtmlPage property (I would suggest giving the hosting div a unique ID to help you locate it)
Write a javascript function that resizes based on some parameters e.g. function resizeSLHost(width, height). You can then call the javascript function from silverlight and pass it the actual height and width.

C# – the best way to give a C# auto-property an initial value

In C# 5 and earlier, to give auto implemented properties an initial value, you have to do it in a constructor.

Since C# 6.0, you can specify initial value in-line. The syntax is:

public int X { get; set; } = x; // C# 6 or higher

DefaultValueAttribute is intended to be used by the VS designer (or any other consumer) to specify a default value, not an initial value. (Even if in designed object, initial value is the default value).

At compile time DefaultValueAttribute will not impact the generated IL and it will not be read to initialize the property to that value (see DefaultValue attribute is not working with my Auto Property).

Example of attributes that impact the IL are ThreadStaticAttribute, CallerMemberNameAttribute, ...

Silverlight DataGrid automatic selection when setting ItemSource/DataContext, sorting,

Have you tried setting a boolean field (ex. bool dataGridFirstLoad) which you set to false in your User Control's constructor.

Then on the SelectionChanged event of the DataGrid, check if dataGridFirstLoad is false. If false set to true and set the SelectedItem to null.

Hope this helps.
