How can I make the bottom border of this Border Silverlight element have a red dotted inside of a red solid line?
Border border = new Border();
border.CornerRadius = new CornerRadius(5);
border.BorderThickness = new Thickness(0, 0, 0, 1);
border.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
Can you replace the border with a Grid and give it a Rectangle that fills the whole area?
<Rectangle Stretch="Fill" RadiusX="10" RadiusY="10" StrokeDashArray="10, 2" Stroke="Black" Fill="White" />
The StrokeDashArray can be used to draw it dotted but a Border has no such property.
EDIT:
Since I noticed you are only dotting the bottom border you could do something like this
<Border Width="100" Height="100" Background="Blue" BorderThickness="0,0,0,1">
<Border.BorderBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint=".2,0" SpreadMethod="Repeat" >
<GradientStopCollection>
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0.3" />
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0.3" />
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0.6" />
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0.6" />
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="1" />
</GradientStopCollection>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.BorderBrush>
</Border>
Adjust the Offset
of the middle two GradientStop's to adjust the width of the red dot/dash. You may also need to adjust the endpoint to make it repeat at your desired interval.
Stephan's answer is helpful. However if you want a simple dotted line that doesn't stretch about as it is resized, try this XAML:
<!-- Horizontal dotted line -->
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="1" BorderThickness="0,0,0,1">
<Border.BorderBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="2,0"
SpreadMethod="Repeat" MappingMode="Absolute">
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0.499" />
<GradientStop Color="#999" Offset="0.5" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.BorderBrush>
</Border>
Here's an alternative for a vertical dotted line:
<!-- Vertical dotted line -->
<Border VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="1" BorderThickness="0,0,1,0">
<Border.BorderBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,2"
SpreadMethod="Repeat" MappingMode="Absolute">
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0.499" />
<GradientStop Color="#999" Offset="0.5" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.BorderBrush>
</Border>
Coincidentally, if you use this brush on an area that's not 1px wide/tall, then you get a nice pinstripe pattern.
