Inside the XAML Grid element, place a Grid.Background element. Inside that place a gradient brush element. This example uses a LinearGradientBrush that shades colors from the control's upper left corner (0, 0) to its lower right corner (1, 1). The LinearGradientBrush element contains GradientStop elements that indicate that the color should be red at the start, white halfway through, and blue at the end.
