I am new to C# and want to fill a rectangle with a brick pattern. How do I do this? Here is what I have done but can't get it to work since I am missing something. I have researched this without success. Here is my simple code:

Rectangle aRect = new Rectangle();
HatchBrush brush = new HatchBrush(HatchStyle.DiagonalBrick,System.Drawing.Color.Black);
aRect.Fill = brush;

The example provided uses XAML. I want to do this in code, not XAML. – J W Feb 17 '20 at 17:46
@Clemens: How then would I approach this in WPF? – J W Feb 17 '20 at 17:48
Take the XAML from the answer and convert it to C#. You'll find examples on the internet how to create a DawingBrush in code. – Clemens Feb 17 '20 at 17:48
Thanks, I'm researching that now. – J W Feb 17 '20 at 17:50

You may also keep the DrawingBrush in XAML as a resource. Then use it in code behind with the FindResource method. – Clemens Feb 17 '20 at 17:52
