In this article, I will guide you to understand the functionality of this control. Also, I will guide you step-by-step to create your first PathListBox control demo application. Here we will create the above two samples where the collection of texts will position them in proper location on the edge

using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace PathListBoxDemo
{
	public partial class App : Application
	{
		public App()
		{
			this.Startup += this.Application_Startup;
			this.Exit += this.Application_Exit;
			this.UnhandledException += this.Application_UnhandledException;

			InitializeComponent();
		}

		private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
		{
			this.RootVisual = new MainPage();
		}

		private void Application_Exit(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
		}

		private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
		{
			// If the app is running outside of the debugger then report the exception using
			// the browser's exception mechanism. On IE this will display as a yellow alert 
			// icon in the status bar and Firefox will display a script error.
			if (!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
			{

				// NOTE: This will allow the application to continue running after an exception has been thrown
				// but not handled. 
				// For production applications this error handling should be replaced with something that will 
				// report the error to the website and stop the application.
				e.Handled = true;
				Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate { ReportErrorToDOM(e); });
			}
		}

		private void ReportErrorToDOM(ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
		{
			try
			{
				string errorMsg = e.ExceptionObject.Message + e.ExceptionObject.StackTrace;
				errorMsg = errorMsg.Replace('"', '\'').Replace("\r\n", @"\n");

				System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Eval("throw new Error(\"Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application " + errorMsg + "\");");
			}
			catch (Exception)
			{
			}
		}
