You can use the ActualWidth or ActualHeight property of elements to get the width/height of elements. This answer describes the difference between `'ActualWidth' and 'Width'.

So in the above example it would be:

Double width = tip.basis.ColumnDefinitions[0].ActualWidth;

And also keep in mind that WPF uses Device Independent Pixels, as described in this answer.

Use the ActualWidth property to get the width. It represents

The width of the column in device-independent units (1/96th inch per unit).
