windows phone 8 - Create Circular Image Xaml

Question

In windows phone 8 I want to put an Image in a circle. Is there a container like grid which have a circular form? I know that there is ellipse bit it is not a container

Answer 1

Here is how I do it.

<Ellipse Width="100"
         Height="100">
    <Ellipse.Fill>
        <ImageBrush>
            <ImageBrush.ImageSource>
                <BitmapImage UriSource="/YourImage.png" />
            </ImageBrush.ImageSource>
        </ImageBrush>
    </Ellipse.Fill>
</Ellipse>

As a best practice, consider setting DecodePixelWidth and DecodePixelHeight to the same size as your ellipse.
