Converting system.windows.media.brush to Hex color code

Question

In my Windows phone7 application I placed a canvas and have set its background color to some hex color code.Now I am not able get the hex color code value through c# code.I used the below code but it give the color value in system.windows.media.brush.Plz help me with an answer?

clr = Convert.ToString(clr1.Background);

Solution

It seems it returns a Brush and since you've set a color it should return a SolidColorBrush. Try this

var color = ((SolidColorBrush)clr1.Background).Color.ToString();

Example:

var color = new Color() {R = 0xF0, G = 0x10, B = 0x80};
var brush = new SolidColorBrush(color);
var hexcolor = brush.Color.ToString();

hexcolor equals "#00F01080"
