Question

I have to do some manipulation of a silverlight grid in code behind. I am currently doing this in the Grid_loaded event. This isn’t ideal as the grid loads then flashes with the changes made by the code. This is clearly because the manipulation is done after the grid has loaded. The manpulation I need to do cannot be done with databinding.

Is there somewhere else that I can put this code? In asp .net I would do it in a prerender.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I’ve got databinding working so the problem is solved. I am binding on to a property like this…

public object ListingBG
        {
            get
            {
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ListingBGString))
                {
                    // bind Image
                    return new ImageBrush
                    {
                        ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(ListingBGString, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))
                    };
                }
                // bind color hex (RGB hex or RGB+Alpha hex)
                return "#FFFFFFFF";
            }
        }
