The element in XAML represents a TextBox control. The following code sets a TextBox control properties in XAML.

The following code snippet sets controls location by the Margin, VerticalAlignment and HorizontalAlignment properties.

<TextBox Name="TextBox1" Height="30" Width="200"
Text="Hello! I am a TextBox."
Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top"
HorizontalAlignment="Left">
</TextBox>

You can set the border of a TextBox by using the BorderBrush property.

<TextBox.BorderBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="1,1" >
<GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="1.0" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</TextBox.BorderBrush>

The Background and Foreground properties of the TextBox set the background and foreground colors of a TextBox.

<TextBox.Background>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="1,1" >
<GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0.1" />
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="0.25" />
<GradientStop Color="Green" Offset="0.75" />
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="1.0" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</TextBox.Background>
<TextBox.Foreground>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="1,1" >
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="0.25" />
<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="1.0" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</TextBox.Foreground>
