Defines constants that describe how DataGrid elements, such as columns, are sized.
Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: System.Windows.Controls.Data (in System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Auto | The unit of measure is based on the size of the cells and the column header. | |
| Pixel | The unit of measure is expressed in pixels. | |
| SizeToCells | The unit of measure is based on the size of the cells. | |
| SizeToHeader | The unit of measure is based on the size of the column header. | |
| Star | The unit of measure is a weighted proportion of the available space. |
This enumeration is used with the UnitType property of a DataGridLength type to indicate how elements are sized relative to other elements in a DataGrid. The DataGridLength type is used for sizing properties, such as DataGrid.ColumnWidth.
In Silverlight 4 and later, the star sizing mode can be used to distribute available space by weighted proportions.
In Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), star values are expressed as n* where n represents a numeric value. 1* is equivalent to *. For example if two columns in a DataGrid had widths of * and 2*, the first column would receive one portion of the available space and the second column would receive two portions of the available space.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.
