It is simple as this :

Assign a name to your component and measure its height using Height property in code behind.

XAML :

<xctk:WatermarkTextBox x:Name="WatermarkTextBox1" Watermark="Enter First Name" />

Codebehind :

var height = WatermarkTextBox1.Height;

EDIT : Please use this to get font height. Source : https://stackoverflow.com/a/9251215/5621607

private int GetTextHeight(TextBox tBox) 
{
  return TextRenderer.MeasureText(tBox.Text, tBox.Font, tBox.ClientSize,
           TextFormatFlags.WordBreak | TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl).Height;
}

But watermarkTextbox not using text and font property – miten Jul 19 '16 at 04:34
Then try with a textbox if it works. If it works, we can create a custom control derived from textbox since watermark Textbox doesn't support the functionalities you need. – ViVi Jul 19 '16 at 07:16
