ImageBrush object

The ImageBrush object is used to paint objects by using an image as the source for the brush.

Example:

<Window x:Class="Brushes.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
         <Grid.Background>
            <ImageBrush
             ImageSource="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg">
            </ImageBrush>
        </Grid.Background>
    </Grid>
</Window>

We can select a portion of the source image to be used for painting by setting the ViewBox property.The following example shows cropping the upper left quarter of an image and using it for the ImageBrush object.

<Window x:Class="Brushes.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <Grid>

<Grid.Background>

<ImageBrush Viewbox="0,0,.5,.5"

  ImageSource="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg">

</ImageBrush>

</Grid.Background>

    </Grid>

</Window>
