WPF Fallback Brush

I was recently asked by Omar Besiso, what I would do to mitigate the performance issues faced when your WPF application leverages gradient’s in a variety of areas of the application, while the application is used remotely. I kept thinking, but couldn’t really come up with an answer straight up. I was told that the answer was to not use gradient’s at all. At first I did accept that as a plausible answer, considering Microsoft Expression Suite also seem to have solid colours for their entire UI. However being a developer who highly considers eye candy as being important, I decided to set out to look for a better solution to this problem.

I’ve decided to publish this on CodeProject. In fact this is my very first code project article, so please be nice. You can view the article here: WPF Fallback Brush.
