TextBlock Overview
The xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock control provides flexible text support for [!INCLUDETLA2#tla_winclient] applications. The element is targeted primarily toward basic [!INCLUDETLA2#tla_ui] scenarios that do not require more than one paragraph of text. It supports a number of properties that enable precise control of presentation, such as xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.FontFamily%2A, xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.FontSize%2A, xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.FontWeight%2A, xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.TextEffects%2A, and xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.TextWrapping%2A. Text content can be added using the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.Text%2A property. When used in [!INCLUDETLA2#tla_xaml], content between the open and closing tag is implicitly added as the text of the element.
A xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock element can be instantiated very simply using [!INCLUDETLA2#tla_xaml].

Similarly, usage of the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock element in code is relatively simple.
