Set background to image control

Question

I've an Image Control in a WPF Form. When there's no image loaded. I want to make it dark gray but all of the controls have the Background exept the Image control.

Does anybody knows how can I set a background to the image control in the XAML?

You can just surround your image with border:

<Border Height="300" Width="300" Background="Gray">
    <Image Stretch="Fill" />
</Border>
