Cannot convert type 'SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush' to 'System.Windows.Media.Brush'

Hi,
I am setting a color in onrender method and want to take that color and update the color of my candle. I an trying to use CandleOutlineBrushes on onupdate method.


I am getting this error ---- Cannot convert type 'SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush' to 'System.Windows.Media.Brush'

onupdate
private Brush currCandleColor;


onrender

SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush customBrush = Brushes.DarkGoldenrod.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget);

currCandleColor = (Brush)customBrush;

Thanks in advance

Right, because currCandleColor is a System.Windows.Media.Brush.

You should be doing currCandleColor = Brushes.DarkGoldenrod. Or, change the definition of currCandleColor to be a SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush instead (I don't really recommend this unless you TRULY know what you are doing, because it is easy to cause problems this way).

You can't convert from a SharpDX brush back to a system brush like that just by casting it.

Thanks Bruce.
