Silverlight TextArea

The TextArea has been removed from Version 4.8 onwards.  The functionality of the TextArea can be replicated using a standard TextBox using the following XAML:

<UserControl x:Class="TextArea.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:liquid="clr-namespace:Liquid;assembly=Liquid"
    Width="400" Height="300">
    <Canvas>
        <liquid:TextArea x:Name="textarea" Canvas.Top="20" Canvas.Left="20" Width="250" Height="250" TabIndex="1" Text="This is a test!" />
    </Canvas>
</UserControl>


The above XAML creates a multi-line textbox with scrollbars automatically.
