Silverlight Paint TextBox in VB.NET
In this article you will learn how to paint an TextBox in Silverlight.
As I mention early in my article about the silverlight that one of the main capabilities of Silverlight is to make user interfaces for web sites. Silverlight's scope is not to replace HTML-based web sites, but instead to augment HTML. You should think of Silverlight as something that enables you to create content inside a web page, not something you would use to create replacement content for your existing web pages.
Silverlight provides a number of ready-to-use Shape objects. All shape objects inherit from the Shape class. Available shape objects include Ellipse, Line, Path, Polygon, Polyline, and Rectangle.
Here I will give an interesting example in which you will see how to paint an TextBox in Silverlight.
Example to paint an TextBox:
