title: Applying a background color to an entire Grid row in XAML Silverlight
body: <p>I'm trying to apply a gradient background to just one row in a XAML Silverlight grid that I've created.</p>
  
  <p>I can do something like this without any trouble:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Grid&gt;
      &lt;Grid.Background&gt;
          &lt;LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0"&gt;
              &lt;GradientStop Color="Black" Offset="0" /&gt;
              &lt;GradientStop Color="White" Offset="1" /&gt;
          &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt;
      &lt;/Grid.Background&gt;
  
      &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;
          &lt;ColumnDefinition/&gt;
          &lt;ColumnDefinition/&gt;
      &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;
      &lt;Grid.RowDefinitions&gt;
          &lt;RowDefinition/&gt;
          &lt;RowDefinition/&gt;
      &lt;/Grid.RowDefinitions&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- components and various stuffs --&gt;
  &lt;/Grid&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately this applies the gradient to the entire grid.</p>
  
  <p>It seems as though I can't apply a gradient (or even a color) to an individual row definition in the grid. Is it possible?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
