Filling Browser Window with Silverlight Application

browsersilverlightsize

I want my Silverlight app to fill the entire browser window. I've set the plugin object width and height to 100%, and set my LayoutRoot container's height and width to Auto, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
    <asp:Silverlight ID="Silverlight1" runat="server" 
        Source="~/ClientBin/Client.xap"
        MinimumVersion="2.0.30818.0"
        AutoUpgrade="true"
        Height="100%" 
        Width="100%">
    </asp:Silverlight>
</form>

<UserControl 
    x:Class="Client.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
    Height="Auto"
    Width="Auto">
    <Grid 
        x:Name="LayoutRoot" 
        Background="#084E85"
        ShowGridLines="True">
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="280" />
            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="80" />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="600" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        ...Remaining content here...
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Disclaimer: I searched for an answer first, finding this thread. However, as you can see by my code that isn't working for me.

First, I don't set the height/width in the user control. Instead, I set the DesignHeight and DesignWidth (in the "http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" namespace) and I set the alignment to stretch

<UserControl ... 
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
    HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
    d:DesignHeight="1050" d:DesignWidth="1680">

In my HTML, I set the Height and Width to 100% like this...

<div style="height: 100%; width: 100%; position: fixed;">
        <asp:Silverlight runat="server" Source="~/ClientBin/My.xap" ID="MyId" 
            Width="100%" Height="100%" />
</div>

At that point, everything works for me to have it take the entire window.
