The default Stretch value for an Ellipse is Fill.
The following example shows how to create an Ellipse and set its properties by using code. For the complete sample, see WPF Shapes Gallery Sample.
' Add an Ellipse
Dim myEllipse As New Ellipse()
myEllipse.Stroke = Brushes.Black
myEllipse.Fill = Brushes.DarkBlue
myEllipse.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left
myEllipse.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center
myEllipse.Width = 50
myEllipse.Height = 75
myGrid.Children.Add(myEllipse)
// Add an Ellipse Element
myEllipse = gcnew Ellipse();
myEllipse->Stroke = Brushes::Black;
myEllipse->Fill = Brushes::DarkBlue;
myEllipse->HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment::Left;
myEllipse->VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment::Center;
myEllipse->Width = 50;
myEllipse->Height = 75;
myGrid->Children->Add(myEllipse);
// Add an Ellipse Element
myEllipse = new Ellipse();
myEllipse.Stroke = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Black;
myEllipse.Fill = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.DarkBlue;
myEllipse.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
myEllipse.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
myEllipse.Width = 50;
myEllipse.Height = 75;
myGrid.Children.Add(myEllipse);

| How to: Draw an Ellipse or a Circle |
This example shows how to draw ellipses and circles by using the Ellipse element. To draw an ellipse, create an Ellipse element and specify its Width and Height. Use its Fill property to specify the Brush that is used to paint the interior of the ellipse. Use its Stroke property to specify the Brush that is used to paint the outline of the ellipse. The StrokeThickness property specifies the thickness of the ellipse outline.

| How to: Paint an Area with a Solid Color |
To paint an area with a solid color, you can use a predefined system brush, such as Red or Blue, or you can create a new SolidColorBrush and describe its Color using alpha, red, green, and blue values. In XAML, you may also paint an area with a solid color by using hexidecimal notation.
