XAML for Windows Store doesn't support a control with the ability to set a background image that is tiled.
Would be awesome if you could create a control that people can use to achieve the same thing.
Would be even more awesome if you could add this feature by monday afternoon :D

Hello Philip The next nightly build will include the TileBackground control. Simply set the ImageSource property and it will tile the image. Here is an example of how you would use it: The next nightly build will be available at around 1200 GMT which you can download from your account page: http://www.mindscapehq.com/store/myaccount Jason Fauchelle |

Awesome! The control works great. It seems to not work in the design view though (image attached). Apart from that, so happy :D Thanks a lot. |

Hello A designer exception has been resolved which will be available in the next nightly build. Unfortunately I havn't found a way to detect the size of the image in design mode before the tiling is performed, so in design mode nothing will be displayed on the TileBackground, but at least it doesn't crash the designer.

Ok cool. Is there any reason why we couldn't just specify the Height/Width. If no height/width is defined, there's no preview. If it is defined then it can show the preview. Phill |
