Hi Tryxxo,

You can use VisualBrush to do this. See:

 <!--for horizontal lines-->     
   <VisualBrush  
              x:Key="HorizontalLines"  
              TileMode="Tile" Viewport="0,0,4,4"  
              ViewportUnits="Absolute" Viewbox="0,0,10,10"     
              ViewboxUnits="Absolute"> 
            <VisualBrush.Visual> 
                <Canvas> 
                    <Path Stroke="Black" Data="M 0 10 l 10 0" /> 
                </Canvas> 
            </VisualBrush.Visual> 
        </VisualBrush> 
 
        <!--For vertical lines--> 
        <VisualBrush  
              x:Key="VerticalLines"  
              TileMode="Tile" Viewport="0,0,4,4"  
              ViewportUnits="Absolute" Viewbox="0,0,10,10"     
              ViewboxUnits="Absolute"> 
            <VisualBrush.Visual> 
                <Canvas >             
                    <Path Stroke="Black" Data="M 0 0 l 0 10" />                         
                </Canvas> 
            </VisualBrush.Visual> 
        </VisualBrush>
