title: Microsoft Expression Blend (silverlight): repeating header?
body: <p>I'm using the new microsoft expression. I'm trying to create a repeating header much like this one at <a href="http://csstreacle.artygirl.co.uk/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://csstreacle.artygirl.co.uk/</a>.
  Is there a way I can do this in Expression blend. How do I organize the containers? And how do I set it to repeat in code or manually?</p>
  
  <p>I have a rectangle with a gradient on it. How do I get it to expand to fill the screen width for any browser/ computer screen size? I would usually do this with a 1px image in css but understand that xaml is a bit different.</p>
  
  <p>Rather than a background this needs to be a two tiered background for the header. The rest of the website will be white!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks

  <p>Check out this I've managed the background but the width is on auto 1000. Any ideas how to set it to auto or 100%?</p>
  
  <pre><code>        &lt;Grid Height="139" VerticalAlignment="Top" &gt;
    &lt;Grid.Background&gt;
      &lt;LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,0.953" StartPoint="0.5,0.01"&gt;
                  &lt;GradientStop Color="#FF1E5584"/&gt;
                  &lt;GradientStop Color="#FF003265" Offset="1"/&gt;
              &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt;
    &lt;/Grid.Background&gt;
  &lt;/Grid&gt;
  </code></pre>
