How do I tell if the browser window is Maximized in Silverlight/C#?

How do I tell if the browser window is Maximized in Silverlight/C#?
The "Form" maximize feature will not work because I am writing a silverlight app that runs in the browser.
I have tried this:
App.Current.Host.Content.FullScreenChanged += new EventHandler(Content_FullScreenChanged);
but this event handler is not called when I maximize the window.
Maximized is not full screen
App.Current.Host.Content.IsFullScreen;
returns false even if I maximize the window.

You want to say if its a silverlight Out Of Browser application,we can get the window state, like

Application.Current.MainWindow.WindowState=WindowState.Minimized.

right jaganathan.

Yes priya.. we can get only the updated window values but not about the window state.

But we cant find if it is Silverlight OOB Application.

Hi jaganathan,

I didn't get any event to find whether window is minimized, but i am trying to find the position of window in minimized state.

Thanks.

@priya - Good. But how can we know whether the browser is minimized to taskbar?.

Minimize and resize is different thing right...

Hi,

We can get size of browser by Resized Event in Silverlight .When its maximize we can capture that position by this event.

App.Current.Host.Content.Resized +=new EventHandler(Content_Resized);

Void Content_Resized(object sender,RoutedEventArgs e)
{
double height = App.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight;
double width = App.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth;
}

Thanks.
