Hi,

when I add your class in my silverlight-application, I can't compile it.

Here I get an Error:

    
            public static implicit operator Brush( ColorExtension color ) 
        
            { 
        
                return new SolidColorBrush( color );  // Here I get an error 
        
            }

The Argument "ColorExtension" can not convert to "System.Windows.Media.Color".

Thanks

Hi Scott

I read your article it is the same approach. I found the solution accidentally few weeks ago in the forum of Silverlight.net, but I lost the link. I will add a reference to your article, you defenitely add some more details. Thanks.

Just an fyi... I got this error message via a dialog when I posted the above comment:

Web.config registration missing!
The Telerik dialogs require a HttpHandler registration in the web.config file. Please, use the control's Smart Tag to add the handler automatically, or see the help for more information: Controls > Editor > Dialogs

I took a very similar approach in my solution to this problem.
