Placeholder-Behaviour for Textbox in Silverlight

Is there any property for Textbox in Silverlight like placeholder in html input Tag? I want to provide some hint to the user what this text box takes as input.. For Example: When the page is loaded there is a string in TextBox like "search here..." and as soon the user clicks into the TextBox the string disappears and it appears again if the user didn't insert something as soon as the user click out this textbox.

Solution
