Draws a rectangle shape, which can have a stroke and a fill.
Public NotInheritable Class Rectangle _ Inherits Shape
Dim instance As Rectangle
public sealed class Rectangle : Shape
<Rectangle .../>
A Rectangle cannot support child objects. If you want a rectangular region that contains other objects, you can use a Canvas. You can also use a composite geometry, but in this case you would probably use RectangleGeometry rather than Rectangle. For details about how to create composite geometries, see Geometries.
The fill for a Rectangle or any other shape that has a fill area does not have to be a solid color. It can be any Brush, including ImageBrush or VideoBrush. For more information, see Brushes.
The following example shows how to create a Rectangle.
Run this sample
<Canvas> <Rectangle Width="100" Height="100" Fill="Blue" Stroke="Red" Canvas.Top="20" Canvas.Left="20" StrokeThickness="3" /> </Canvas>
