How to: Set the Text Content of a TextBox Control

This example shows how to use the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox.Text%2A property to set the initial text contents of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox control.

Note

Although the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) version of the example could use the <TextBox.Text> tags around the text of each button's xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox content, it is not necessary because the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox applies the xref:System.Windows.Markup.ContentPropertyAttribute attribute to the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox.Text%2A property. For more information, see XAML in WPF.
