Wpf/Silverlight: How to convert hex value into Color?
new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0x44, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0));Note: Don't use Color.FromRgb() (without the A) if your code will be shared in both Silverlight and WPF, as the FromRgb method doesn't exist in Silverlight.
Try
(Brush)(new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#44FFFF00"));much better IMHO
