Silverlight: settings host's background color

[VRSki]

I created a Silverlight application, which is hosted by an ASP.NET app
(default IDE settings for creating a Silverlight app). There are 2 projects
created by default: ASP.NET (hosting the Silverlight control) and the
Silverlight project with the control's code.

I'd like to set the background of the entire page as it appears on user's
browser to a certain color. Setting the background color on the Silverlight
control itself, only paints the controls area, but the rest of the background
is still the default white.

I tried different things:
- setitng the style in every <div> I could find in the asp.net side
- setting the silverlight control:
<asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server" ... PlugInBackColor="..." />
and
<asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server" ... BackColor="..." />

What am I missing? I noticed, in the App code (Silverlight), I can get
access to Host.Background, but it's readonly.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through
some of the previous questions before posting yours - always a
recommended practice), but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net is a different technology from classic ASP. While you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to
a newsgroup where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

There are also forums at www.asp.net where you can find a lot of people
to help you.

Bob,

Thanks for the note. My bad -- I should have read the posts firsts. I am off
to the .NET group now
