Question

I can’t seem to find a Label control in Silverlight. I get compile errors if I put anywhere in my XAML.

Answer 1

TextBlock is roughly the same as a Label from WinForms.

As per MSDN:

The TextBlock control is the primary
element for displaying text in
Silverlight based applications.

Provides a lightweight control for
displaying small amounts of text…

EDIT: I just noticed your tag for Silverlight 3. Label should be built into Silverlight 3 so are you sure your not using 2?

You might want to consider a TextBlock depending on how your using it. Again per MSDN:

A Label control displays a caption,
required field indicator, and
validation error indicator to the
user. It is typically used together
with an input control, such as a
TextBox. If you do not need to display
required field or validation
indicators, you can use the TextBlock
control instead.
