How do you programmatically change the height of a button giving its width?

Question
-
This works for making a square button:
Height = "{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
I would like a aspect ratio of 1 to 5 though. Something like this:
Height = "{Binding Path=ActualWidth/5.0, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
That does not compile though.
I have attempted to use c# to make a square button:
Button button = (Button)FindName("ButtonStart"); var myBinding = new Binding("Height") { Source = button.ActualWidth }; button.SetBinding(Button.HeightProperty, myBinding);
This doesn't make the button square.
Is it possible to set the aspect ratio of a button using data binding?

Hi JohnGlen244,
Thank you for posting here.
This simple code should work.
ButtonStart.Height = ButtonStart.Width / 5;
You can also refer to the suggestions in this link to implement the aspect ratio setting in xaml.
Best Regards,
Timon
