Video Brush Not Found

Question

I am trying to use a video brush for my TextBlock, but i am getting the following errors

The tag 'VideoBrush' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'

The type 'VideoBrush' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built

Please tell me how to rectify it, thanks.

Answer 1

VideoBrush is a feature that's only available in Silverlight, there is no WPF equivalent.  You can work around the issue by using a MediaElement to play your video, and hosting that inside a VisualBrush instead, or creating a VideoDrawing and putting that inside a DrawingBrush.
