Silverlight
Describes the location and color of a transition point in a gradient.
Namespace: System.Windows.Media
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
The GradientStop type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Color | Gets or sets the color of the gradient stop. |
|
|
Dispatcher | Gets the Dispatcher this object is associated with. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
|
Offset | Gets the location of the gradient stop within the gradient vector. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
CheckAccess | Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
|
ClearValue | Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetAnimationBaseValue | Returns any base value established for a Silverlight dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetValue | Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
ReadLocalValue | Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
|
SetValue | Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |

|
ColorProperty | Identifies the Color dependency property. |
|
|
OffsetProperty | Identifies the Offset dependency property. |
Use this class to describe the colors in a LinearGradientBrush or RadialGradientBrush.
Note that this class does not provide an opacity property; to make a GradientStop semi-transparent, set its GradientStop.Color property with a transparent Color.
The following example creates a linear gradient with four colors and uses it to paint a Rectangle.
The following illustration shows the results of the preceding code, with the highlighted gradient stops.
<StackPanel> <!-- This rectangle is painted with a diagonal linear gradient. --> <Rectangle Width="200" Height="100"> <Rectangle.Fill> <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="1,1"> <GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="0.0" /> <GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0.25" /> <GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0.75" /> <GradientStop Color="LimeGreen" Offset="1.0" /> </LinearGradientBrush> </Rectangle.Fill> </Rectangle> </StackPanel>
