WPF - using user controls and setting design time height and width

Question

Hi,

Maybe someone has an answer for this.

I am designing user controls that are to be added to other containers and they are to fit the availalbe space of there container.

So this means not setting the height and width of the user control.

But when I am designing the control I want to see it with a width and height.

So surely I dont have to keep setting and removing the wdth and height of the control

How is this handled???

Use this

<UserControl x:Class="MyApp.UserControl1"
         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
         xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
         xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
         mc:Ignorable="d" 
         d:DesignHeight="500" d:DesignWidth="600">
