OK, this is pretty simple, but I thought I would post if (at the very least for my reference).
Problem: How do I make the Silverlight application the size of my browser?
Solution:
Add this line to the Page_Loaded event
BrowserHost.Resize += new EventHandler(BrowserHost_Resize);
Add this to the code behind file

{
Width = BrowserHost.ActualWidth;
Height = BrowserHost.ActualHeight;
}
(You may [...]

This site is part of Microsoft’s QuickStarts, but very straight forward demo. I have been unable to find [...]
My goal is to make sense of Microsoft Silverlight. I come from a .NET 2.0 web application background, so the next obvious transition is to look at .NET 3.0 and 3.5. When looking into Silverlight I had a hard time finding a good site(s), so this is my attempt and bringing some light to Silverlight [...]
