Answer 1

Since Control.Background is of type Brush, you can use an ImageBrush.

      &lt;Button.Background&gt;

        &lt;!-- The ImageBrush&#039;s Viewport and TileMode

             are set to produce a pattern from the

             image. --&gt;

        &lt;ImageBrush

          Viewport=&quot;0,0,0.5,0.5&quot;

          TileMode=&quot;FlipXY&quot;

          ImageSource=&quot;sampleImages\berries.jpg&quot; /&gt;

      &lt;/Button.Background&gt;
