Converting Hex to Color in C# for Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

Create a method to Convert Hex string to SolidColorBrush:

  public SolidColorBrush GetSolidColorBrush(string hex)
    {
        hex = hex.Replace("#", string.Empty);
        byte a = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(0, 2), 16));
        byte r = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(2, 2), 16));
        byte g = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(4, 2), 16));
        byte b = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(6, 2), 16));
        SolidColorBrush myBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Color.FromArgb(a, r, g, b));
        return myBrush;
    }

Now all that left is to get the color by Calling the method and pass the hex string to it as parameter:

  var color = GetSolidColorBrush("#FFCD3927").Color;
