Changing TextBlock color from cs (windows phone 7)

I am completely new developer at Windows Phone 7. I have TextBlock Text="{Binding MyDate} on MainPage.xaml page.

How can I change color of this TextBlock from MainPage.xaml.cs?

Solution

  • Firstly, you need to give the TextBlock element an x:Name attribute, e.g. x:Name="myTextBlock". Once you've done this, the TextBlock is available in the code-behind as a field with the same name as what you put in the x:Name.

    To set the foreground color of a TextBlock, you can use something like

    myTextBlock.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(someColor);
