How to set custom color for background in wpf?

[VahidEra]

Hi guys,
I have a button in a wpf project that I want to change its background color at runtime.
The only code that works is this:

btnMergNextWithDash.Background = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.BurlyWood

But the problem with this code is that I can't set a specific color in it. I tried different ways, but I still get the error Like this:

btnMergNextWithDash.Background = New SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromRgb(60, 179, 113))

Or:

btnMergNextWithDash.Background = New SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromRgb(60, 179, 113, 0))

But I still get the errors like "Too many arguments to Public overloads Sub New()"

Where is my problem and how can I do it?

I don't see anything wrong with what you do, but also there is no Sub, can you post a bit more of your code?

Edit: The last line is wrong though, FromRgb only takes 3 arguments and you have 4.

@miloush Dear Jan, In the last line it means:

btnMergNextWithDash.Background = New SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(60, 179, 113, 0))

But I solved the problem with your guidance.
After you said that there is no problem with the code, I thought of testing this code on another page, and it worked.
So I realized that The problem is only from the page where I enter the code, then with import Imports SolidColorBrush = System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush The problem was solved.
As always, your advice helped me solve another problem. Thanks again for your advice, my dear friend.

Good to hear you solved your issue. Note that FromArgb has the alpha value first, and opaque is the maximum value, so FromRgb(60, 179, 113) = FromArgb(255, 60, 179, 113).

@miloush Dear Jan, yes, I understood. Thanks again for your help.
