In my UWP app I have long pages with lots of content that user can scroll down. When modifying the XAML of a single page I'd like to see all the content of the page in Visual Studio Designer. I can change the Device option into device with higher resolution to view more content but this still leaves most of the content hidden. In the past when developing Windows 8.1 Store Apps there was an option to set device display size to auto. When developing UWP app this autosize option does not seem to exist anymore.
Is there a convenient way for setting the Desinger width and height to be the same as those of the page?

Xaml designer has not provided this set option that make designer width and height to be the same as page. But you could make your xaml designer display with suitable size that could make the page fill the visible area. We could select Fit all option where in the ZoomAutoSuggestBox.

I am building a visual studio application and have designed it using visual studio windows form. I am using the siticone library for the GUI but when i lay widgets out on the designer and then run the application all the widgets move. The buttons do not but the labs on them do. Also i have added a user control page that moves aswell. Please Help.
Cheers.enter image description here
Make sure that your Winform Font style and size match with all child controls including all Siticone controls.
Verify that you have anchored your controls accordingly on your form or panel control.
When creating a menu in Oracle Forms 6i, you can set a property for each menu option to be visible or not in the horizontal menu toolbar. You can also set the icon for the button on the toolbar and the text to display when hovering your mouse over it.
What I cannot find is the properties for the toolbar itself. It doesn´t seem to be possible to change the size, color or any other property for the toolbar.
I specifically want to change the size of the icons, since being an old tool, it was designed by default to work with 16x16 icons, but with current screen resolutions, the toolbar looks way to small.
Using larger icons doesn´t do the trick, since it just cuts the icon to 16 by 16.
Am I missing something? is it possible to adjust the toolbars properties?
Adjusting the size of the toolbar is a new feature in Forms 12c. It is not available in earlier versions.
"do you have any source for this?"
I saw Michael Ferrante (the Forms Product Manager) talk at UKOUG on Monday. So straight from the horse's mouth :) The Forms 12c New Features guide is here: page 12 is the page which will break your heart.
I'm developing for Windows 8 (WInRT) and have problem with settings charm. Settings popup is based on Microsoft SDK settings charm. Settings panel is Popup. Content is wrapped by ScrollViewer -> Grid -> StackPanel. In StackPanel I have input fields. when I trying to fill last of them on screen keyboard overlaying it and I cant see field and cant scroll to it. Is there any way to see it and to scroll to it automatically?
Seems like the popups on Windows 8 suffer from the same problem as they did on Windows Phone in that when you put a TextBox on one of them - it does not get pushed up together with all the other content as it does when it is not in a popup.
My solution to that would be to not use popup for input fields and instead go for a layout that you can manage yourself.
By default the app has a Frame control at its visual root. You can modify it for example by putting your own UserControl in there (I usually call it AppShell) which has the Frame used by all pages, you can have a layer for popups, log in screens, the extended splash screen etc.
To solve your problem you would need to put your charm's UI inside of such layer instead of in a popup. Then the build-in mechanism that pushes all the UI up when the on-screen keyboard would otherwise obstruct the view of your TextBox should just start working again.
*EDIT
A simpler solution might be to make sure your settings panel popup is parented in your visual tree - e.g. by adding it as a child element to a root grid of your app or page. It turns out that in that case its content does get pushed up when the OSK shows up.
Take a look at this post
It's a popup wrapper (turns user controls into popups) that takes care of the keyboard appearing and adjusts the size of the popup (and thus the user control) accordingly.
Is there any specific controls to create the header in windows phone 7 like its there in iPhone?
If I have to create it myself then what is the recommended height for the header for my app?
If you add a new page in Visual Studio it comes with a "header" that includes the page title. Please do not add an iPhone header containing back and other buttons. For the back button the hardware back button is used. Other buttons belong on the app bar at the bottom of the screen, not at the top like on the iPhone.
