Duration: 21 minutes
Summary: In the previous videos we talked about some standard controls like the border, radio button and check box. In this video we are continuing our discussion of standard controls. We start by talking about the textbox and the passwordbox. There are new properties in the textbox in Silverlight 5. We will discuss text wrapping, character spacing and line height. When it comes to the textblock, we will see how to embed line breaks and run elements that allow us to change the font style and text color. Finally, we will talk about the RichTextBlock and RichTextBlockOverflow controls. We will see how to use binding so that the text that is extra in the RichTextBlock will overflow to the RichTextBlockOverflow.
Methodology of the development of example: Good coding standard and simplified design to illustrate the key points.
