This may or may not exactly fit your requirements, but whenever I hear/read 'resize', I think of the UI control that was built just for that purpose; the Viewbox. Using this class, you have several options over how the content should be resized, but I think that you would want the default Uniform method.

Just put whatever you need to be resized into a ViewBox and see how you like it... it should do the job nicely and simply for you:

You don't actually need to add the Stretch="Uniform" here because that is the default... it's just here for demonstration purposes. To find out more, please see the Viewbox Class page on MSDN.
