Can I get object Width and Height by databinding?

Question

Object's width and height are binded to variables in modelview, so I can easly know size of the object. Unfortunetly they get NotANumber instead of actual value. I don't want to use standard object.Width and object.Height parameteres from code-behind, since it'd be complicated to access them from modelview. I've read something about ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties, but they are not available in my Visual Studio 2010. What should I do?

XAML:

<ListView Width="{Binding wdth, Mode=OneWayToSource}"
          Height="{Binding hght, Mode=OneWayToSource}" />

Code-behind:

public class modelview
{
    public double wdth {get;set;}
    public double hght {get;set;}
}

Have you tried compiling this code? `ActualHeight` is a read-only DP and hence can't be bind to. – Rohit Vats Dec 05 '13 at 09:55
