Silverlight: Line does not appear.

[Bassem]

Hello,

I'm posting my Silverlight question to .NET section because I didn't find a Silverlight section in Bytes. I was planning to post in the feedback section about that but I can not get to that section now! I don't know where the links hide :) I'll try again.

I'm too new to Silverlight and I'm doing a basic layout. What I'm trying to solve from beginning is to add a strike through TextDecorations to my TextBlock Text. I searched for that and found that adding a Line control is the solution.

I did but it does not appear!!

Here is my XAML for MainPage:

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Width="250" Height="90" Loaded="LayoutRoot_Loaded">
        <Line HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="11" Stroke="White" StrokeThickness="3" X1="1" X2="1" Y1="1" Y2="1" />
        <Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
            <Border Style="{StaticResource DaysLeftBorder}"/>
            <TextBlock x:Name="DaysPart1" Style="{StaticResource DaysLeftTextBlock}"/>
        </Grid>
        <Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
            <Border Style="{StaticResource DaysLeftBorder}"/>
            <TextBlock x:Name="DaysPart2" Style="{StaticResource DaysLeftTextBlock}"/>
        </Grid>
        <Border Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource DaysLeftBorder}"/>
...
        </Grid>
    </Grid>

And for App:

        <Style x:Key="DaysLeftTextBlock" TargetType="TextBlock">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FFF"/>
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="36"/>
            <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Arial"/>
            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
        </Style>
        <Style x:Key="DaysLeftBorder" TargetType="Border">
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value=".1"/>
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#000"/>
            <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,1,0"/>
        </Style>

Note: I use Silverlight 3, because I use the VWD Express 2010, and I couldn't find Silverlight 4 for this version by searching! Anyone has information about that?!

I really appreciate your time for help!

Thanks a lot,
Bassem

Hi,

Sorry I found that there is a WPF/Silverlight section, I hope you can move my question there.

I found the problem: I didn't draw a line, it was a point where X1 = X2, and Y1 = Y2! And the Canvas.ZIndex should be higher than the TextBlock.

Thank you.
