# How to: Wrap a Border Around the Content of a Canvas
This example shows how to wrap a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas> element with a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border>.  
  
## Example  
 The following example shows how to display `Hello World!` inside a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas> element. The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas> element is wrapped by a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border> element so that a border outlines the element.
