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?

The name says it all
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.
