If you want the window to fit the screen size, why not just maximize it? — Kent Boogaart, Mar 13 '11 at 17:34

Just bind SystemParameters properties to your window properties.

<Window x:Class="YourWindow"
    Height="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemParameters.WorkArea}, Path=Height}" 
    Width="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemParameters.WorkArea}, Path=Width}">

SystemParameters offers resource keys for all its properties. It is better to use DynamicResource instead of bindings. – Marat Khasanov Mar 13 '11 at 20:47
This is not working here. "SystemParameters is not supported in a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Project." A shame :| – Malavos Feb 10 '14 at 11:56

See System.Windows.SystemParameters

You have properties like

PrimaryScreenWidth
PrimaryScreenHeight
VirtualScreenHeight
VirtualScreenWidth
WorkArea

etc.

This question might help as well: How can I get the active screen dimensions?
