You should be able to do it for a datagrid (or for any WPF control) by setting HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment to Stretch

If it's inside a Grid, you should be able to set something like this

<Grid> <!-- parent grid or whatever -->
   <DataGrid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ... >
   </DataGrid>
</Grid>
