I am creating a Windows 8.1 app using https://slideview.codeplex.com in the Windows 10 with help of Visual Studio 2015.

I have added grid to the design with 1 row and two column. In the first page there is big image and no text and in other pages there is icon and text. So I am putting if 4* in first column for first page and 2* in first for second page all works good but I wanted to make it dynamic in ContentPresenter and then I can assign it from C#.

Kindly somebody help me.

I tried in different way like I put below code in SlideApplicationFrame.cs

C#
#region FirstColumnWidth (DependencyProperty)

    /// <summary>
    /// header Image First Column Width
    /// </summary>
    public GridLength FirstColumnWidth
    {
        get { return (GridLength)GetValue(FirstColumnWidthProperty); }
        set { SetValue(FirstColumnWidthProperty, value); }
    }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty FirstColumnWidthProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("FirstColumnWidth", typeof(GridLength), typeof(SlideApplicationFrame),
                new PropertyMetadata(new GridLength(4, GridUnitType.Star))); 

    #endregion

    #region ContentFirstColumnWidth (Attached DependencyProperty)

    public static readonly DependencyProperty ContentFirstColumnWidth =
            DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("ContentFirstColumnWidth", typeof(GridLength), typeof(SlideApplicationFrame), new PropertyMetadata(new GridLength(4, GridUnitType.Star)));

    public static void SetContentFirstColumnWidth(DependencyObject o, GridLength value)
    {
        o.SetValue(ContentFirstColumnWidth, value);
    }

    public static GridLength GetContentFirstColumnWidth(DependencyObject o)
    {
        return (GridLength)o.GetValue(ContentFirstColumnWidth);
    }

    #endregion

Then I use it in my ContentPresenter Like this

XML
<ContentPresenter  library:SlideApplicationFrame.ContentFirstColumnWidth="{TemplateBinding FirstColumnWidth}" Grid.Column="1"/>

and at the end in style setter

XML
<ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding library:SlideApplicationFrame.ContentFirstColumnWidth}"/>

Whole Style Setter is as below

XML
<Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
            <Setter.Value>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid  x:Name="GridHeader">
                        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <RowDefinition/>
                        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding library:SlideApplicationFrame.ContentFirstColumnWidth}"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="5*"/>
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>

and setting from MainPage.xaml.cs

C#
SlideApplicationFrame RootFrame = Window.Current.Content as SlideApplicationFrame;

RootFrame.FirstColumnWidth = new GridLength(4, GridUnitType.Star);

Please help me I will be highly appreciated

and what is the problem? From your snippets I have only one suggestion, to replace TemplateBinding by simple Binding with RelativeSource TemplatedParent. TemplateBinding might work not for all properties. But I didn't see full code and xaml, and you didn't tell what exactly doesn't work, so it is just a guess
