Sorry, I think I haven't explained myself correctly, and probably this is not the best post to talk about it since it is not related to databinding.

I meant that there are a bunch of properties such as the Background or Fill in some controls those are of type Brush and you can set directly in the XAML code an ARGB value or an element from the Colors enumeration and they are automatically converted without any explicit conversion to a SolidColorBrush. So, since these values are in fact strings, where are they being converted?

gcorchon... >>Regading the type conversion, how do you convert an ARGB string value to a SolidColorBrush object for properties such as the background property in a grid without any explicit type converter?<<<

Did I say something to imply that you can? I would in fact make an instance of IConverter to do this, assuming you are talking about binding. You can have the conversion done implicitly if you know the color at design time (e..g,

<SomeControl Background="Red" ...

but if you mean databinding then i believe you need a converter that you'd write.
