    copied!<p>The problem is that when you specify your Gradient stops in code you are not specifying the offset.</p> <p>However I would suggest the you not avoid Xaml for a solution. First read this blog: <a href="http://geekswithblogs.net/codingbloke/archive/2010/05/28/a-generic-boolean-value-converter.aspx" rel="nofollow">A Generic Boolean Value Converter</a>. I would also suggest that your Hightlight property ought to be a <code>bool</code> type not an int.</p> <p>By including the converter code from the blog in your project you should be in a position to do something like this:-</p> <pre><code>&lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"&gt; &lt;Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;local:BoolToBrushConverter x:Key="Highlighter"&gt; &lt;local:BoolToBrushConverter.TrueValue&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1"&gt; &lt;GradientStopCollection&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#4cffffcc" Offset="0" /&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#ffffffcc" Offset="1" /&gt; &lt;/GradientStopCollection&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt; &lt;/local:BoolToBrushConverter.TrueValue&gt; &lt;local:BoolToBrushConverter.FalseValue&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1"&gt; &lt;GradientStopCollection&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#4ce6e6e6" Offset="0" /&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#ffe6e6e6" Offset="1" /&gt; &lt;/GradientStopCollection&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt; &lt;/local:BoolToBrushConverter.FalseValue&gt; &lt;/local:BoolToBrushConverter&gt; &lt;/Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;ListBox Name="lstResults" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}"&gt; &lt;ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate&gt; &lt;Grid Background="{Binding highlight, Converter={StaticResource Highlighter}}"&gt; &lt;StackPanel&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding name}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Black"/&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding address}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" Foreground="Black" /&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/ListBox&gt; </code></pre> <p>Not only does this approach allow you to keep the visual description in the more familiar Xaml fashion, its much more flexiable and resuable.</p>
