But we don’t want to have to do this by hand.  So instead, we can fire up Expression Blend 2.0 and use the properties window on the right to fill it in:

<

Much easier.

Now the next thing we’ll want to do is to wire up some events.  Again, you could just type it into the XAML, but once again, it will be easier if you use expression blend.

You’ll notice that just to the right of the  Name field in the properties is a lightning bolt icon.  Click that to get to the events that are available.  Unfortunately, there is no double click support to automatically create the event, but you probably already know the drill.  Just name it using the format controlName_EventName.  Save your code and go back to Visual Studio and reload the file and you’ll see that you have an event handler in your CSharp code file.

style="color: blue;">private void m_button_Click
    (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

}

All that’s left now is doing something in that event.  So let’s set the Text property of our TextBlock (kind of like a Label in ASP.NET or WindowsForms).
<

span style=”color: blue;”>private void m_button_Click
    (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    m_textBlockLabel.Text = “Button was clicked”;

}

See, from here it looks a lot like code we've been writing in ASP.NET or Windows Forms.  Not a whole lot new.
