Images being stretched in WPF RibbonRadioButton - c#

I've already posted a message about this, but I've lost it! And I can paste code now too...
I have a RibbonRadioButton whose image is being stretched, XAML below (I haven't changed the code-behind from its default). I have checked that the PNG is at 96dpi but the problem remains.
XAML:
<Window x:Class="DashboardTest.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ribbon="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Ribbon;assembly=RibbonControlsLibrary"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<ribbon:Ribbon x:Name="Ribbon">
<ribbon:RibbonGroup x:Name="LiveStatusGroup"
Header="RibbonGroup Header">
<ribbon:RibbonRadioButton x:Name="Dashboard"
LargeImageSource="images\LiveStatus_Dashboard.png"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Label="RibbonRadioButton Label"
ToolTip="RibbonRadioButton ToolTip"/>
</ribbon:RibbonGroup>
</ribbon:Ribbon>
</Grid>
</Window>
Can anyone shed light on why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 with text size set to medium (125%).

WPF page content not setting to window's size

I made a WPF application in which. I placed a rectangle. The page is covering whole window but the size(width) of rectangle is not equal to the page.
here is the pic.
here is the source code of my application:
<Page x:Class="TestWpfApplication.Page1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

</Grid>
And
<Window x:Class="TestWpfApplication.MainWindow"

Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<local:Page1/>
</Grid>
At last App.xaml
<Application x:Class="TestWpfApplication.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestWpfApplication"
StartupUri="page1.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
</Application.Resources>
Please help me....
Set SizeToContent Property of Window to SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight"
SizeToContent
Page1.Xaml.cs:
public Page1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.SizeToContent = SizeToContent.WidthAndHeight;
}
For more Info, See Window.SizeToContent Property
I don't know why you specified size parameters for rectangle and expect it to fit your page's size. Just remove all these parameters and it will stretch.
<Rectangle Fill="#FFF4F4F5"/>

How to set a resize limit for a window?

Lets say I have a xaml for my window like this:
<Window x:Class="WavePoint_MVVM.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
FontSize="13"
FontFamily="Verdana"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WavePoint_MVVM"
Height="{Binding SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeigth}"
Width="{Binding SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth}"
AllowsTransparency="False"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip"
<Grid/>
</Window>
Now I want to fix some sort of limit in which the user can't resize the window beyond it. Just to give an example, in Spotify app for Windows desktop, the user can't resize beyond a certain limit. This is the minimum I can get:
Thoughts?
To force a minimum window size, set your MinWidth and MinHeight attributes on the Window:
<Window x:Class="WavePoint_MVVM.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
FontSize="13"
FontFamily="Verdana"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WavePoint_MVVM"
Height="{Binding SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeigth}"
Width="{Binding SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth}"
AllowsTransparency="False"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip"
MinWidth="640"
MinHeight="480">
<Grid/>
</Window>

Mahapps.Metro Flyout appearing behind Winforms chart

I have been using MahApp.Metro for a few project now, and WinForms charts too, and also combined them.
So nothing new on that front in this project, except :
The placement of the chart.
And this is causing an issue where the Mahapps.Metro Flyout menu i have opens BEHIND the chart. See Screenshot.
Is there any way to solve this? i have searched a bit and found nothing. In CSS it would be a simple z-index setting... but in C# i have no idea.
Any help appreciated.
XAML as requested :

<winformchart:Chart.ChartAreas>
<winformchart:ChartArea/>
</winformchart:Chart.ChartAreas>
</winformchart:Chart>
</WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</GroupBox>
That's a known issue when mixing WinForms and WPF and is not related to MahApps.Metro. Just search for Airspace here at StackOverflow.

C# WPF different size from IDE after debugging?

I am having a problem with different appearance in Blend/VS2012 IDE and in Debugging.
In IDE, the Rectangle is at the center, but when it is compiled or debugged, the size of the margin is different. In my view, this occurs because the size of the window border is different. I really want to fix this problem. Any suggestions?
Thank You.
XAML
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="202" Width="194">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="171" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="186">
<Rectangle Fill="#FFF4F4F5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="151" Margin="10,10,0,0" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="166"/>
</Grid>
Edited XAML code:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="202" Width="194">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="171" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="186">
<Rectangle Fill="#FFF4F4F5" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="151" Margin="10" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="166"/>
</Grid>
Result is the same. Is this problem of my PC?
Your Problem here is Window Size includes the Chrome Size(Window Border and stuff like close/max min buttons).
Your Grid is hence the size you requested but it does not fit in the window size you've requested.
I could fix your issue to make the output window look like this, with Window size:
Width: 202
Height: 210
on Windows 8
However you should rather have your window size set to SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight"
Example:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication4.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication4"
x:Name="window"
Title="MainWindow"
SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="171" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="186">
<Rectangle Fill="#FFF4F4F5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="151" Margin="10,10,0,0" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="166"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
Your thus not assuming Chrome sizes which might be different from different versions of Windows.
You should also get Snoop. It helps you debug such issues very easily, It shows a red border on a control when you hover on it with Shift+Ctrl, so you can actually see the Grid extend past the visible Window while showing the actual Element Layout of your UI

Having problem with very basic SilverLight LineSeries graph

I been stack for the last few days trying to figure out the SilverLight 4 LineSeries graph, for some strange reason the graph being displayed but the line not being displayed. I am pretty sure that my mistake is something very basic but I been straggling to pinpoint the problem by myself.
Bellow is the code that I having problem with.
<toolkit:Chart HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="chartLine" Margin="31,35,0,0" Title="Chart for test" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="233" Width="309">
<toolkit:LineSeries IsSelectionEnabled="True" HorizontalAlignment="Left" DependentValuePath="Y" IndependentValuePath="X" Margin="195,49,0,0" Name="lineSeries1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="78" Width="130">
<toolkit:LineSeries.ItemsSource>
<PointCollection>
<Point>1,10</Point>
<Point>2,20</Point>
<Point>3,30</Point>
<Point>4,40</Point>
</PointCollection>
</toolkit:LineSeries.ItemsSource>
</toolkit:LineSeries>
</toolkit:Chart>
I would also apreciate if anyone can point me to some code example with scrollable graph on Silverlight.
Thank you in advance.
Here's the corrected XAML. Your problem is the HorizontalAlignment/VerticalAlignment/Margin/Width/Height you have set in the LineSeries. Removing these fixes the problem.
Here's the complete XAML which shows the Chart with the lines properly placed.
