Setting a WebView to Auto Height in Windows Store Apps / Metro XAML

Question

If I put a TextBlock in a ListView it expands the ListView to the length of the text. However, a WebView does not do the same.

Is there anyway to get a WebView to stretch its parent element? Is it something which has to be done after the content has loaded?

Answer 1

Like the Canvas element, the Webview does not stretch to accommodate its contents. You will need to either set an absolute size on your WebView or find some other way to set its size that doesn't depend on its contents.
