Change background cell color

[Washington Morais]

hi.... How do I change the background cell color in Calendar? I'm trying to use with Converter with no success...
this is what I have so far:

        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo language)
        {
            var appointments = parameter as Dictionary<DateTime, Appointment>;
            var date = (DateTime)value;
            if (appointments != null)
            {
                if (appointments.ContainsKey(date))
                {
                    return Colors.Magenta;
                }
            }

            return null;
        }

Data template:

<DataTemplate x:Key="Celltemplate">
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock
                    Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource Converter}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource Appointments}}"
                    Foreground="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource Appointments}}"
                    VerticalAlignment="Top"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Right"
                    Margin="3"
                    FontSize="10"
                    TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
                <TextBlock
                    Text="{Binding Day}"
                    VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
                    Margin="3"/>
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>

Ok, I found the solution. I hope it helps someone.

The problem was with the return of the Converter function. It must be return new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Magenta); instead of return Colors.Magenta;.
