Silverlight 3 Application Background
- by Rich Blumer
I am new to Silverlight development. I have created a nice png file in Expression Design. I would like to use this png file as the background for my application. When I set the Stretch property to fill, it does not fill the entire page like I think it should.
Here's the xaml:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="IgniteTechDesign.png"/>
</Grid.Background>
<Border x:Name="ContentBorder">
<navigation:Frame x:Name="ContentFrame" Style="{StaticResource ContentFrameStyle}"
Source="/Home" Navigated="ContentFrame_Navigated" NavigationFailed="ContentFrame_NavigationFailed">
<navigation:Frame.UriMapper>
<uriMapper:UriMapper>
<uriMapper:UriMapping Uri="" MappedUri="/Views/Home.xaml"/>
<uriMapper:UriMapping Uri="/{pageName}" MappedUri="/Views/{pageName}.xaml"/>
</uriMapper:UriMapper>
</navigation:Frame.UriMapper>
</navigation:Frame>
</Border>
<Grid x:Name="NavigationGrid" Style="{StaticResource NavigationGridStyle}">
<Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}">
<StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}">
<ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}"
Text="Application Name"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
<Border x:Name="LinksBorder" Style="{StaticResource LinksBorderStyle}">
<StackPanel x:Name="LinksStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource LinksStackPanelStyle}">
<HyperlinkButton x:Name="Link1" Style="{StaticResource LinkStyle}"
NavigateUri="/Home" TargetName="ContentFrame" Content="home"/>
<Rectangle x:Name="Divider1" Style="{StaticResource DividerStyle}"/>
<HyperlinkButton x:Name="Link2" Style="{StaticResource LinkStyle}"
NavigateUri="/About" TargetName="ContentFrame" Content="about"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Grid>
</Grid>
Thanks in advance.
