Q:

How to make a brush that paints graph-paper-like squares for Windows Phone 8?

Here is the solution for WPF:
<DrawingBrush Viewport="0,0,20,20"
          ViewportUnits="Absolute" TileMode="Tile">
            <DrawingBrush.Drawing>
                <DrawingGroup>
                    <GeometryDrawing Geometry="M0,0 L1,0 1,0.1, 0,0.1Z" Brush="LightBlue" />
                    <GeometryDrawing Geometry="M0,0 L0,1 0.1,1, 0.1,0Z" Brush="LightBlue" />
                </DrawingGroup>
            </DrawingBrush.Drawing>
        </DrawingBrush>

But as I understand there is no DrawingBrush under WinPhone8.

A:

You can use Path class instead of DrawingBrush.
