How to set XAML Width in percentage?

In XAML, you can set the Width property of an element to a percentage value using a GridLength object.

Here's an example of how to set the Width property of a TextBox to 50% using XAML:

<TextBox Width="50*" />

In this example, the Width property is set to "50*" using the GridLength syntax. The "*" character specifies that the element should take up a proportion of the available space in the container, with the proportion specified by the numeric value. In this case, the TextBox will take up 50% of the available space in the container.

You can adjust the percentage value by changing the numeric value in the Width property. For example, setting Width="25*" would make the TextBox take up 25% of the available space in the container.

Note that setting the Width property of an element to a percentage value only works if the element is inside a container that can be resized, such as a Grid or StackPanel. If the element is not inside a resizable container, setting the Width property to a percentage value will have no effect.
