I have:

<Window x:Class="qq.MainWindow"
  ...
  Width="500"
  Height="300" 
>
...
<Canvas x:Name="gca" 
        Width="250"
        Height="150" />

This does not work

<Canvas x:Name="gca" 
        Width=Window.Width / 2
        Height="150" />

How do I assign the Canvas Width to equal half of the Window Width?

I would put the Canvas in a UniformGrid with two rows and two columns. – Steeeve Oct 17 '21 at 12:57
XAML does not support inline C#-style expressions in XAML binding expressions - which is one of the many hurdles you'll encounter with XAML - I don't understand why Microsoft has still never addressed the major ergonomic pain-points with XAML for 15 years. – Dai Oct 17 '21 at 12:57
