RadGridView: Huge Space between last row and footer

[Gautam]

I believe this is quite a common issue.

When I include the Aggregate function for a column in the RadGridView, there is a lot of space between the last row and the footer.  I am not setting any height to the grid.

<telerik:RadGridView AutoExpandGroups="True"
                                  AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                             CanUserFreezeColumns="False"
                             ShowGroupPanel="False"
                             Grid.Row="1"
                             ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}"
                               IsBusy="{Binding Path=IsLoading}"
                             ShowColumnFooters="True">

Any clue to how this can be fixed?  I have attached a screen shot of the Grid.

I was able to resolve this.  

This behavior is based on the grid's height.  The footer will always show at the bottom of the grid, and if the number of rows in the grid are less compared to the grid's height, then the blank space makes up the difference between the last row and the footer. 

I set the grid's height to auto and this made the blank space go away. (This reduced the height of the grid)

Hi Gautam,
I know that the question is old, but I faced this exact problem today. 

Your solution works but using auto you will lose the automatic vertical scroll bar when the rows was many and they oversize the window height. We can achieve the same result using VerticalAlignment="Top" and leave Grid.Height = "*".

Hi Deltaohm,

I Came across this same problem and this solution today. Thank you for suggesting the VerticalAlignment="Top" fix. This solved the issue for me as well.
