I’m trying to customize a pushpin. For that, I’m setting an ImageBrush for the background of this pushpin. But, the image gets tiled. How can I avoid this?

This is my code:

pp = new Pushpin();
ImageBrush ib = new ImageBrush();
ib.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"Images\pin.png", UriKind.Relative));
pp.Background = ib;

The image: enter image description here

    The dimensions of your pushpin have a different aspect-ratio to your image. This is because the shape of the pushpin is being defined by the default template, which is a trapezium.

    In order to entirely replace the pushpin with you image, you need to change the template:

    <phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
    <ControlTemplate x:Key="PushpinControlTemplate" TargetType="my:Pushpin">
        <Image Source="/Images/pin.png" />
    </ControlTemplate>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>

...

<my:Pushpin Template="{StaticResource PushpinControlTemplate}" />
