How can I use Window.Eval to get height and width of window into c#?

Question

I need to get the window width and height in Internet Explorer

Initially I was using a nice simple statement var height = HtmlPage.Window.Eval("innerHeight").ToString();

However I then found out that this doesnt work in IE 8

There appear to be loads of different ways to get the width and height of a window, I am not sure which is the best, but the one below is mentioned here Get the window height

doc = document; var theHeight = Math.max( doc.body.scrollHeight, doc.documentElement.scrollHeight, doc.body.offsetHeight, doc.documentElement.offsetHeight, doc.body.clientHeight, doc.documentElement.clientHeight );

My question is how can I put this into Window.Eval to get the height?

What does the syntax need to be?

If there is a better, more reliable way of getting window width and height please let me know, but it needs to work for different browsers

have you tried var Height = HtmlPage.Window.Eval("screen.height") ? — Afshin, Oct 04 '13 at 02:22
Hi Afshin I cant use screen.height, I am loading a new window with a size that is not necessarily going to be the same height as the user's screen — Paul, Oct 04 '13 at 02:34
I need to get the value into a c# integer variable as I use it to set the width of a grid in silverlight — Paul, Oct 04 '13 at 07:30

untested. just adapting your code...

HtmlPage.Window.Eval("Math.max( document.body.scrollHeight, document.documentElement.scrollHeight, document.body.offsetHeight, document.documentElement.offsetHeight, document.body.clientHeight, document.documentElement.clientHeight )").ToString();
