I have a grid whose width is "1*". So the actual width decided at runtime I think. Within that grid I have another grid whose width I want to set to the runtime width of parent grid. How Can I do that in xaml through binding.

This will actually help you I guess

Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=parentElementName}"

This binds the width to the parent element or the element name provided
