adding texture to shape in WPF and Blend

Question

How can I add a texture to a let's say rectangle such when I stretch the object on canvas it would cover up while being resized?

Thank you

not that I care about negative points but those who leave this kind of scoring at least could be a little beneficial by pointing to a solution since they feel this is a low level question so I'm assuming they know the answer. I have searched on blend 4 and related topics to xaml but did not find a direction.

Answer 1

Add the image as an imagebrush for the fill of the rectangle:

<Rectangle Width="auto" Height="auto" Name="myRectangle">
    <Rectangle.Fill>
        <ImageBrush ImageSource="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\sample.gif"/>
    </Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
