C# .NET: Convert Hex Color Code to Brush/SolidColorBrush in XAML App

To set the background color of an object in .NET XAML, you will need to set the Brush object type. To create a Brush object from a hexadecimal color code, use the following.

copy
//input ex: #dcdcdc
public static Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.SolidColorBrush GetColorFromHex(string hexaColor)
{
	return new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.SolidColorBrush(
		Windows.UI.Color.FromArgb(
			255,
			Convert.ToByte(hexaColor.Substring(1, 2), 16),
			Convert.ToByte(hexaColor.Substring(3, 2), 16),
			Convert.ToByte(hexaColor.Substring(5, 2), 16)
		)
	);
}
