WPF LinearGradientBrush using XAML

Through this example I am going to explain how to fill gradient color in the background.

A LinearGradientBrush paints a gradient along a line. The line's start and end points are defined by the StartPoint and EndPoint properties of the LinearGradientBrush.

<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.504,1.5" StartPoint="0.504,0.03">
</LinearGradientBrush>

StartPoint Property: Gets or sets the starting two-dimensional coordinates of the linear gradient. This is a dependency property.

EndPoint Property: Gets or sets the ending two-dimensional coordinates of the linear gradient. This is a dependency property.

GradientStop Class: Describes the location and color of a transition point in a gradient.

<GradientStop Color="#FFFFC934" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0.567"/>

This example shows how to use the LinearGradientBrush class to paint an area with a linear gradient. In the following example, the Background of a Border is painted with linear gradient that transitions from yellow to white.

<Border.Background>
    <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.504,1.5" StartPoint="0.504,0.03">
        <GradientStop Color="#FFFFC934" Offset="0"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0.567"/>
    </LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.Background>

                <GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0.567"/>
            </LinearGradientBrush>
        </Border.Background>

            </StackPanel>

    </Border>
