Changing color of grid in C# (Windows Phone 8)
I am trying to change background color of grid (with name "colorPlace") in my simple app (when I click on button). I tried (where red, green and blue are bytes): colorPlace.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, red, green, blue)); and: colorPlace.SetValue(BackgroundProperty, "#FFFFFFFF"); And all I just get is: An exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Project.DLL but was not handled in user code Any ideas how to do it? EDIT: Oh, I just find an solution - all changes in elements (grid, buttons etc.) should be done AFTER InitializeComponent(); line.
