Creating SolidColorBrush from hex color value

Question

I want to create SolidColorBrush from Hex value such as #ffaacc. How can I do this?

On MSDN, I got :

SolidColorBrush mySolidColorBrush = new SolidCol         


        

Answer 1

using System.Windows.Media;

byte R = Convert.ToByte(color.Substring(1, 2), 16);
byte G = Convert.ToByte(color.Substring(3, 2), 16);
byte B = Convert.ToByte(color.Substring(5, 2), 16);
SolidColorBrush scb = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(R, G, B));
//applying the brush to the background of the existing Button btn:
btn.Background = scb;
