Create reusable brushes in XAML resources and access them with the StaticResource and DynamicResource markup extensions.
- [Instructor] In this video, I'll look at how to…define a brush in the XAML resources…and use it elsewhere in the application.…As you can see, I've already got three…colors defined in my app.XAML.…Now, I'll create a solid color brush.…I'll give it an identifying key…that makes sense for the application,…and then I'll set the color property,…and I'll use a static resource lookup…to apply this relaxed green color…as the color for the brush.…It's the same process with creating…other solid color brushes, you can also define…the other types of brushes, image brushes,…visual brushes, you can define gradient brushes,…they can all be defined in here.…
For this example, I'm just using the solid color brush…and later I'll use a gradient brush.…I've got my solid color brush defined,…now I'll go over to my colorless window,…pick my ellipse, and over here in my XAML,…this time when I hit the spacebar,…instead of getting a listing of colors,…the type of the Fill property is brush,…and now it's showing me all of…the brushes that are defined in my XAML.…
