Question

Right now I use a StackPanel where I have a small image but I want to have another image behind this image centered. I don’t mind if the image fills all of the StackPanel or the Grid. I can make it the right size required for this.

Is this possible?

Or does one need to draw the image on another image at runtime? If so, would this not be slow for a Windows Phone?

Answer 1

<Grid>
    <Grid.Background>
        <ImageBrush ImageSource="../MyImages/MyFile.png" />
    </Grid.Background>
    <StackPanel>
        <!-- other contents -->
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

We are using the background of the Grid to show an image behind the contents of the StackPanel.
