For our .NET project this year we have to create a website in Silverlight.
Now I have been getting along nicely utilizing the grid, making gridrows and colums, but I have got to the part where I have to create navigation buttons.
So I decided to go for the following look of the buttons:

Now, when I add a button to my project and I give it the background of that image, this happens.
I have looked at other methods to create an image button but those involve putting an image INSIDE the button using a stackpanel. I tried that and it looks really bad.
This is the code the button generated:
<Button Content="Button" Height="40" Name="button1" Width="125">
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="/OndernemersAward;component/Images/button.png" Stretch="Fill" />
</Button.Background>
</Button>
I don’t know what’s going on here and I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks, Thomas
I ultimately solved this by using blent. I created an image and there is a control there that can transform the image to a button.
