WPF - Resize window from user control on run time - c#

My application works with main window and user controls for every view.
the main window have default size.
I want that one of the user controls will change its size when entering the view.
when i change the size with local it changes the user control and not the width and height of the window.
Main window :
<Window x:Class="EEPromTool2.View.MainMenu"
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:viewmodels="clr-namespace:EEPromTool2.ViewModel"
xmlns:views="clr-namespace:EEPromTool2.View"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:EEPromTool2.View"
Background="#191919"
WindowStyle="None"
ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip" AllowsTransparency="True"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="EEPROM Tool" Height="680" Width="1000"
>
User control :
<UserControl x:Class="EEPromTool2.View.Revision"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="900"
d:DesignWidth="1300"

Audio but no video when playing a movie using mediaplayerelement in wpf

I am trying to use MediaPlayerElement in a WPF to play streaming videos. I have set up a simple WPF window that contains a MediaPlayerElement instance and auto-plays a video. When I run the program, I can hear audio but the video is not visible.
I started by following this tutorial:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/wpf-winforms/mediaplayerelement
Unfortunately the tutorial appears to be out of date, as it no longer works. I made a few corrections to get it to a running state, but cannot get the video to appear.
I have tried placing the MediaPlayerElement inside a Grid or StackPanel, but can't because it is not a UIElement.
<Window x:Class="MediaPlayerElement_Test.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:MediaPlayerElement_Test"
xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<controls:MediaPlayerElement Name="mediaPlayerElement" AutoScaleDimensions="800,450"
Source="https://mediaplatstorage1.blob.core.windows.net/windows-universal-samples-media/elephantsdream-clip-h264_sd-aac_eng-aac_spa-aac_eng_commentary-srt_eng-srt_por-srt_swe.mkv"
AutoPlay="True" Anchor="Top" Height="450" Width="800" AreTransportControlsEnabled="True" />
</Window>
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here? How do I get the video to display in the window?

Try this one, this works perfectly for me
<Window x:Class="Test.Media"
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:Test"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="Media" Height="450" Width="800">
<Grid>
<MediaElement Margin="10,10,10,0 " Source="http://mediaplatstorage1.blob.core.windows.net/windows-universal-samples-media/elephantsdream-clip-h264_sd-aac_eng-aac_spa-aac_eng_commentary-srt_eng-srt_por-srt_swe.mkv"
Name="McMediaElement"
Width="450" Height="250" LoadedBehavior="Play" UnloadedBehavior="Stop" Stretch="Fill"/>
</Grid>
if this is not working then it might be the issue with your video codec

Unable to fill entire space with WPF control in WinForm

I created Wpf UserControl and am hosting it in WinForm.
<UserControl x:Class="Sapphire.WpfUserControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d" Height="527" Width="992">
<Canvas x:Name="videoCanvas" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" >
<Label Canvas.ZIndex="2" Content="Label" Canvas.Left="165" Canvas.Top="50" Width="125" Foreground="#FFFFFEFF"/>
<MediaElement x:Name="videoElement" Canvas.ZIndex="1" Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="10" />
</Canvas>
As shown in designer file this WPF control is hosted through HostElement:
//
// elementHost1
//
this.elementHost1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
this.elementHost1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
this.elementHost1.Name = "elementHost1";
this.elementHost1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1130, 593);
this.elementHost1.TabIndex = 2;
this.elementHost1.Text = "elementHost1";
this.elementHost1.Child = this.wpfUserControl1;
So it looks all correct. You also can see that the DockStyle is Fill.
However, the WPF control does not fill the entire WinForm and always shows up of a size as set and displayed in Designer.
I removed the Height and Width both from Canvas and from MediaElement that Canvas contains but it did not have any effect...
I'd appreciate if somebody can point out what I am doing wrong here - I am new to WPF.

You need to remove the Width and Height of the <UserControl> so that the containing ElementHost controls the size of the contained elements:
<UserControl x:Class="Sapphire.WpfUserControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d">
If you want a specific size in the designer, you can use d:DesignHeight and d:DesignWidth attributes:
<UserControl x:Class="Sapphire.WpfUserControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="527" d:DesignWidth="992">

Set window icon correctly and happening XamlParseException

I set window icon property in xaml code or in the properties window correctly in a very simple wpf application, but visual studio always throws an XamlParseException at runtime. Why is this happening?(using visual studio 2013 and windows 8, my icon size is 15 KB)
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Icon="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/MyIcon.ico">
<Grid>
</Grid> </Window>
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Icon="/Resources/MyIcon.ico">
<Grid>
</Grid> </Window>

It is a problem with your image Build Action Property, check the arrows for further info..

Looking to find how to add resize button

Hello:
I have been experimenting with WPF this afternoon, Im wondering does anyone know how I can manually enable resizing ? I have my main windows set with the following properties which removes the close/min/max and resize;
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" AllowsTransparency="True"
WindowStyle="None" Background="Maroon" ResizeMode="CanResize">
