ItemsControl Height Issue - wpf

Question

I am trying to have the height of an itemscontrol be set to what is defined in the grid row definitions. If I set the Height on the itemscontrol manually, it of course affects the control. How can I bind to or achieve this behavior? I just want my itemscontrol size to be determined by the grid. Thanks!
<ScrollViewer>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="600"/>
<RowDefinition Height="500"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ItemsControl Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Name="MIPRegion" cal:RegionManager.RegionName="MIPRegion" />
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>

Answer 1

You can bind to the ActualHeight property of the RowDefinition.
<ScrollViewer>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition x:Name="rowDef0" Height="600"/>
<RowDefinition x:Name="rowDef1" Height="500"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ItemsControl Height="{Binding Path=ActualHeight, ElementName=rowDef1}"
Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Name="MIPRegion"
cal:RegionManager.RegionName="MIPRegion" />
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>

Answer 2

Try this
I havent use Actualheight and actualwidth for binding as Width and height itself is of type GridLength.
<ScrollViewer>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="600"/>
<RowDefinition x:Name="RowHeight" Height="500"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" x:Name="ColumnWidth"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ItemsControl Grid.Row="1" Background="Green" Width="{Binding ElementName=ColumnWidth,Path=Width}" Height="{Binding ElementName=RowHeight,Path=Height}" Grid.Column="0" Name="MIPRegion" >
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>

Answer 3

In my case RowDefinition's Height was set * and it only worked when I bound the ItemsControl.Height to the Height property, not the ActualHeight. I then realized that such a binding between double and GridLenght is not correct.
(Value produced by BindingExpression is not valid for target property.; Value='*' BindingExpression:Path=Height;) But still I confirm that in some case binding to the ActualHeight is not working as expected.
