WPF VisualBrush stretches instead of tileing

visualbrush, wpf, xaml

Solution

Try this:

<UserControl x:Class="WpfApplication1.UserControl1"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
             mc:Ignorable="d" 
             d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <VisualBrush x:Key="MyBrush" TileMode="Tile" Viewport="20, 20, 20, 20" ViewportUnits="Absolute">
            <VisualBrush.Visual>
                <Ellipse Fill="#FF00EBFF" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="2" Width="20" Height="20" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" />
            </VisualBrush.Visual>
        </VisualBrush>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="{StaticResource MyBrush}">

        </Grid>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

You need to specify the ViewPort values when using TileMode.
