Hi, thank you for the reply. But when the minWidth is set then only the ActualWidth gives the value and if the Width property is set then the ActualWidth is 0 and Width.Value returns the correct width. But when the Column width='Auto' both properties returns 0. Any idea. thanks Nitheesh

Hi, try to add an SizeChanged event to you grid. The SizeChangedEventArgs have a property NewSize. And with this you can easy calculate the grid column width GridColumnWidth = (windowWidth / 100) * GridColumnProcent

public partial class Window1 : Window
{
double windowWidth;

    public Window1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.SizeChanged += new SizeChangedEventHandler(Window1\_SizeChanged);
    }

    void Window1\_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        windowWidth = e.NewSize.Width;
    }
}
