Silverlight Textbox Control

The TextBox control that is shipped with Silverlight is easy to use in your own Silverlight applications, here we have a simple example.


How to Use the TextBox Control

To use the textbox on your Silverlight page:

<UserControl x:Class="TextBoxPlus.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Width="400" Height="300">
    <Canvas>
        <TextBlock x:Name="userNameLabel" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="52" Text="User Name:" FontFamily="Arial" />
        <TextBlock x:Name="passwordLabel" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="82" Text="Password:" FontFamily="Arial" />
        <TextBox x:Name="userName" Canvas.Top="50" Canvas.Left="80" Width="150" MaxLength="20" TabIndex="0" />
        <PasswordBox x:Name="password" Canvas.Top="80" Canvas.Left="80" Width="150" TabIndex="1" />
    </Canvas>
</UserControl>


In your Silverlight C# code behind file you can refer to the TextBoxes using firstName and lastName.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace TextBoxPlus
{
    public partial class Page : UserControl
    {
        public Page()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}
