4. Properties

< 1 min read

Properties configure the appearance and behavior of controls.

For example:

<Button
    Content="Login"
    Width="120"
    Height="40"
    Background="RoyalBlue"
    Foreground="White"/>

Here:

Property Syntax #

Properties are written as attributes.

<TextBlock
    Text="Welcome"
    FontSize="24"
    FontWeight="Bold"/>

Some properties belong to parent controls rather than the child control itself.

Example:

<Grid>

    <Button
        Grid.Row="1"
        Grid.Column="2"
        Content="Save"/>

</Grid>

Grid.Row and Grid.Column are attached properties supplied by the Grid layout.
