Functions to Convert ARGB/RGB to a Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Brush

Below I will provide C# functions to convert a color defined by it's RGB or ARGB colors into a Brush that can be used in Windows Universal Apps (UWP).

C#

/// <summary>
/// Returns a Brush for the given ARGB values.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="a">Alpha</param>
/// <param name="r">Red</param>
/// <param name="g">Blue</param>
/// <param name="b">Green</param>
public static Brush ConvertColor(int a, int r, int g, int b)
{
    return new SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Color.FromArgb(Convert.ToByte(a), Convert.ToByte(r), Convert.ToByte(g), Convert.ToByte(b)));            
}

/// <summary>
/// Returns a Brush for the given ARGB values.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="r">Red</param>
/// <param name="g">Blue</param>
/// <param name="b">Green</param>
public static Brush ConvertColor(int r, int g, int b)
{
    return new SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Color.FromArgb(Convert.ToByte(255), Convert.ToByte(r), Convert.ToByte(g), Convert.ToByte(b)));
}

The code above will require the following Using statements at the top of your code file:

using System;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;
