# How to: Create and Use a Canvas
|
|
This example shows how to create and use an instance of <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas>.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
The following example explicitly positions two <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock> elements by using the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas.SetTop%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas.SetLeft%2A> methods of <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas>. The example also assigns a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Control.Background%2A> color of `LightSteelBlue` to the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas>.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> When you use [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] to position <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock> elements, use the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas.Top%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas.Left%2A> properties.
