Wpf/Silverlight: How to convert hex value into Color?

Question

I know how to create a SolidColorBrush of color blue and return it like this within a converter:

return new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);

However what if I needed the SolidColorBrush to be of this Hex value? #44FFFF00 ?

How do I do that?

Thanks,

new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0x44, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0));

(Documentation)

Note: Don't use Color.FromRgb() (without the A) if your code will be shared in both Silverlight and WPF, as the FromRgb method doesn't exist in Silverlight.

Try

(Brush)(new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#44FFFF00"));

much better IMHO

For those of you that (like me) didn't have the namespaces already, here it is fully spelled out. (System.Windows.Media.Brush)(new System.Windows.Media.BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#44FFFF00"));

This doesn't work in Silverlight: No overload for method 'FromArgb' takes 1 arguments.
