#76 – Two Types of Elements in XAML

In XML, elements are the things surrounded by angle brackets, < >.  In XAML, there are two types of elements.

An object element declares an instance of a type.

 <Button Name="btnClick" Content="Click Me" Height="23" Width="75"/>

A property element specifies the value of a property.  (Button.Background is the property element in this example).

 <Button.Background>
     <SolidColorBrush Color="RosyBrown"/>
 </Button.Background>
