How to convert color code into media.brush? [duplicate]

Question

I have a rectangle that i want to fill with a color. When i write Fill = "#FFFFFF90" it shows me an error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Windows.Media.Brush

Please give me some advice.

Answer 1

You could use the same mechanism the XAML reading system uses: Type converters

var converter = new System.Windows.Media.BrushConverter(); var brush = (Brush)converter.ConvertFromString("#FFFFFF90"); Fill = brush;
