Vista - How to set Fill on a Path

Hi,

I have some Resources defined as follows

<Window.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="0685A1-Blue" Color="#FF0685A1"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="911E13-Red" Color="#FF911E13"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="662585-Purple" Color="#FF662585"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="1FB52C-Green" Color="#FF1FB52C"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="825B08-Brown" Color="#FF825B08"/>
</Window.Resources>

I have this Path in my XAML file:

<Path Stretch="Fill" Stroke="#FF00F0A3" StrokeThickness="5" Width="440"
Height="748" Canvas.Left="-542.5" Canvas.Top="-823.5" Data="F1 M220,-173.5
C340.12192,-173.5 437.5,-126.96686 437.5,-69.565277 L437.4718,-69.03228
437.5,-69.03228 437.5,22.499996 437.5,465.56528 437.5,467.16428 437.5,551.5
C437.5,562.54572 428.54568,571.5 417.5,571.5 L22.499998,571.5
C11.454305,571.5 2.5,562.54572 2.5000014,551.5 L2.5000014,22.499996
2.5000124,22.499886 2.5000124,-69.03228 2.528199,-69.03228
C2.5009389,-69.209641 2.5000038,-69.387398 2.5000014,-69.565277
2.5000038,-126.96686 99.878075,-173.5 220,-173.5 z" ClipToBounds="False"
Fill="{DynamicResource 1FB52C-Green}">

This path uses one of the resources.

How can I change the fill in my code behind file (C#) to use one of the
other resources? I can get at the Path, but there is no Fill property. I'm
guessing that it would be SetValue, but can't get the syntax that I need.

Thanks,

Hi,

Actually, there is a Path.Fill property, which is a Brush and which is
inherited from Shape.Fill. So you can TryFindResource the other brush,
and assign that value to the Path.Fill property.
