XAML : How to change background color only in Design mode?
- by Kave
I have a control with white text foreground color and transparent background color.
Later on this usercontrol will be added into a different control that carries the real background color.
However during designing this, control due white foreground on white background in VS 2010, I can't obviously see anything. In there anyway to define a different color for just the design time?
I have tried this:
if (System.ComponentModel.DesignerProperties.IsInDesignTool)
{
LayoutRoot.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
}
But this doesn't work. Any tips?
Thanks,
Kave
