How to create repeating diagonal lines as background in WPF?

Ok, I destroyed my brain, Google and stackoverflow, trying to figure it out, but just can't get it. I am trying to use DrawingBrush with a DrawingGroup to do two things against the background of my WPF application (latest version). First, I want RadialGradientBrush to use a subtle gradient in my background. This part works just fine. The second part that I am trying to accomplish is that I also want to repeat the diagonal lines as part of this background. I know that I can do this with an image, but rather I will use geometry as I try to learn and master WPF. Here is what I still have. The radial color seems beautiful, but there are no lines. Any help would be appreciated.

<Style x:Key="WindowBackground" TargetType="Grid">
        <Setter Property="Background">

  • Try rotating the horizontal brush to avoid corner gaps:

    <VisualBrush TileMode="Tile" 
 Viewport="0,0,5,5" ViewportUnits="Absolute" 
 Viewbox="0,0,5,5"  ViewboxUnits="Absolute">
 <VisualBrush.Visual>
    <Grid Background="White" Height="5">
        <Path Stroke="Black" Data="M 0 3 l 8 0" />
    </Grid>
 </VisualBrush.Visual>
 <VisualBrush.RelativeTransform>
     <RotateTransform CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5" Angle="45" />
 </VisualBrush.RelativeTransform>
</VisualBrush>
