Selection Brush is not working

WPF- Selection Brush is not working, I am selecting 'H' in my case but it is not working. Here is my code :
XAML : 

<TextBox Text="Hello" Height="49"  Name="textBox2" Width="547" />

C# 

textBox2.SelectionStart = 0;
textBox2.SelectionLength = 1;
textBox2.SelectionBrush = Brushes.Red;

An alternative solution is to trick the TextBox into thinking it has not lost focus. This way, you're not actually moving focus back to the TextBox.

For this to work, you'd have to set focus on the TextBox at least once, like when the user enters the initial text, or by calling textBox2.Focus() from the constructor.

Markup:

<TextBox Height="49" x:Name="textBox2" LostFocus="TextBox2_OnLostFocus" />

Code-behind:

private void TextBox2_OnLostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    e.Handled = true;
}

Try this

        textBox2.Focus();
        textBox2.SelectionStart = 0;
        textBox2.SelectionLength = 1;
        textBox2.SelectionBrush = Brushes.Red;
