Question

Folks, I am seeing that the below code gives runtime error when I paste it in notepad and save as test.xaml and run it.

<Page xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <TextBlock Text="Hi Ramakrishnan, good morning"/>
    <Button x:Name=”blueButton”
        Width=”100”
        Height=”40”
        Background=”Blue”
        Content=”Click Me” />
</Page>

But the below code doesn’t give any error but displays the textblock content very correctly in the browser. Any thoughts ? I have also checked including a textbox in place of button above, still same error.

<Page xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <TextBlock Text="Hi Ramakrishnan, good morning"/>
</Page>

Answer 1

You need to wrap your TextBlock/Button in a StackPanel or other control that allows multiple controls in it’s content.

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <TextBlock Text="Hi Ramakrishnan, good morning"/>
        <Button x:Name="blueButton"
        Width="100"
        Height="40"
        Background="Blue"
        Content="Click Me" />
    </StackPanel>
