Question

I’ve a Silverlight app (Silverlight 4 in VS2010) wherein I’ve a datagrid. I wanted to set the border for the datagrid rows. So in the <DataTemplate> I wrote this:

<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1"></Border>

This worked. Now I wanted to draw border only in the bottom and right and I did this:

<Border BorderBrush="Black">
  <Border.BorderThickness>
    <Thickness Bottom="1" Left="0" Top="0" Right="1"/>
  </Border.BorderThickness>
</Border>

But this throws a XAML parsing error – Cannot set the read-only property Bottom

Why would this happen? Is there any alternatives to do the same?

Answer 1

<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="0,0,1,1" />
