How do you set the background color of an object (represented by data template) in c#?

How do I change the background color of an object (referred to by its observablecollection index) in c# ?

for (int i = 0; i < numTapeSlots; i++)
        {
            if (t.tapeLocation == mainTapes[i].tapeLocation)
            {
                mainTapes[i] = t;
                mainTapes[i].Background = "light red";
            }
        }

Only changes a particular object if it meets the criteria.

Any class that inherits from the Control class has the Background property, which is a type of Brush... basically, you can only assign a Brush object to it. If you want the brush to be a solid color, you can use the SolidColorBrush.

In you're case, you're going to want to do:

mainTapes[i].Background = new SolidColorBrush(...);

Now, since the Colors static class does not contain a static property for "Light Red", you can always just use methods such as Color.FromArgb, Color.FromRgb, etc. For example:

mainTapes[i].Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(255,100,100));

I could go on and on about how to create the appropriate color, but you get the point...
