resourceName

resourceNameThe resource name (x:Key attribute value) of an existing XAML resource that defines a brush. This is the recommended way to specify Brush values in XAML if you have any intention of using the same colors or brushes in more than one part of your UI. See Remarks in Brush or ResourceDictionary and XAML resource references.

colorString

colorStringThe Color for a SolidColorBrush expressed as an attribute string. This can be a named color, an RGB value, or an ScRGB value. RGB or ScRGB may also specify alpha information. See the XAML Values section in Color.

singleBrush

singleBrushWithin opening and closing property elements, exactly one object element for an object that derives from Brush. This is typically one of the following classes: LinearGradientBrush, ImageBrush, SolidColorBrush.

## -property-value The brush that fills the border. The default is **null**, (a null brush) which is evaluated as [Transparent](../windows.ui/colors_transparent.md) for rendering.

-remarks

The BorderThickness value must be greater than 0 in order to see the BorderBrush value take effect.

-examples

This example shows how to set the BorderBrush value to a solid color using an inline-defined attribute value "Blue". The XAML parser uses this "Blue" value to refer to the named color Colors.Blue, and to create the SolidColorBrush instance that supplies the runtime value.
