Put icon to a XAML ellipse

Question

I am new to XAML. I encountered this problem that I need to place a symbol icon or font icon into an Ellipse shape (so it shows like an icon inside a circle). However, seems like the Ellipse's Fill property only takes ImageBrush and ColorBursh . ( MSDN )

How can I add an icon to the Ellipse?

Answer 1

try this (replace your own font symbol in TextBlock Text)

<Grid>
    <Ellipse Stroke="Red"
             Fill="Red"
             StrokeThickness="5">
    </Ellipse>
    <TextBlock Text="&#xf001;"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               HorizontalAlignment="Center">

    </TextBlock>
</Grid>
