Hi,

I am new to WPF.

I have label control created in vb.net by wrapping on windows .net Label class.

Now I want to migrate Label control from .net to WPF.

I am facing a problem with

Mybase.Text.

The error being text is not present in label class of WPF.

Is there any alternative for text in Label class of WPF.

Also could you please share any document related to migration from .net to WPF

Thanks in advance,

Vijay

WPF requires a very different way of thinking about User Interface programming. A "straight conversion" from winforms is not simple.
There are plenty of good books on WPF, none of which I can think of right now. ;)

In any case, the property of the WPF Label object that most closely corresponds to the winforms Label.Text is Content, and it is of type object.
