background, c#, popup, wpf, xaml

Solution

A WPF `Popup` has no default visual appearance. It is merely a place holder for content that needs to popup.

Simply have your `Popup` contain an item that does have a `Background` property and set that to your desired color as in this example from the Popup class documentation.

<Popup Name="myPopup">
    <TextBlock Name="myPopupText" 
               Background="LightBlue" 
               Foreground="Blue">
        Popup Text
  </TextBlock>
</Popup>
