Ellipse in WPF

This is a simple article to represent how to create Ellipse in WPF.

Ellipse in WPF:

 

<Ellipse Width="190" Height="90">

    <Ellipse.Fill>

        <LinearGradientBrush>

            <GradientStop Offset="0" Color="Wheat"/>

            <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="White" />

        </LinearGradientBrush>

    </Ellipse.Fill>

</Ellipse>
 

How to use Ellipse on button's background?

<Button Height="100" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Width="200">

    <Ellipse Width="190" Height="90">

        <Ellipse.Fill>

            <LinearGradientBrush>

                <GradientStop Offset="0" Color="Wheat"/>

                <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="White" />

            </LinearGradientBrush>

        </Ellipse.Fill>

    </Ellipse>

</Button>

Now I am taking a simple example to show how to create Ellipse on button's background and also how to show the message on messagebox using WPF.

Example:

MainWindow.xaml:

<Window x:Class="test_WPF.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <Grid>

        <Grid.RowDefinitions>

            <RowDefinition Height="58" />

            <RowDefinition Height="122" />

            <RowDefinition Height="131*" />

        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

            <ColumnDefinition MinWidth="50" />

            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <TextBlock Text="Enter Name:" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" />

        <TextBox x:Name="txtName" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" MinWidth="50"/>

        <Button Height="100" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Width="200" Click="Button_Click">

            <Ellipse Width="190" Height="90">

                <Ellipse.Fill>

                    <LinearGradientBrush>

                        <GradientStop Offset="0" Color="Wheat"/>

                        <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="White" />

                    </LinearGradientBrush>

                </Ellipse.Fill>

            </Ellipse>

        </Button>

    </Grid>

</Window>

 

Design view:

 

 

MainWindow.xaml.cs:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows;

using System.Windows.Controls;

using System.Windows.Data;

using System.Windows.Documents;

using System.Windows.Input;

using System.Windows.Media;

using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

using System.Windows.Navigation;

using System.Windows.Shapes;

 

namespace test_WPF

{

    /// <summary>

    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml

    /// </summary>

    public partial class MainWindow : Window

    {

        public MainWindow()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

          

        }

        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Hello {0}", this.txtName.Text));

        }

    }

}

 

Output: Now debug this application and enter your name then the message box shows as follows:
