The Background property gets or sets the value of the C1ColorPicker control's background color. By default the C1ColorPicker control starts with the Background property unset, but you can customize this at design time, in XAML, and in code.

At Design Time in Blend

To set the Background property at run time, complete the following steps:

1. Click the C1ColorPicker control once to select it.
2. Navigate to the Properties window, and click the Background drop-down arrow, and choose Red or another color in the color picker.

In XAML

For example, to set the Background property to Red add Background="Red" to the <c1: C1ColorPicker> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

<c1:C1ColorPicker Name="C1ColorPicker1" Margin="296,98,273,0" Height="45" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="Red"/>

In Code

For example, to set the Background property to Red, add the following code to your project:

Me.C1ColorPicker1.Background = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Red

this.c1ColorPicker1.Background = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Red;

Run the application and observe:

The background of the C1ColorPicker control will appear red:
