So this might seem simple enough but I was asked a couple times recently so I thought I would put a post out there on topic, ok so its more of a half tweet half blog post as its pretty simple but here is how to create a 'border' in silverlight without some hack on a rectangle or some sillyness.
<border borderthickness="20" background="white" borderbrush="Green" padding="3" cornerradius="10" >
<textblock text="Hello World" />
</textblock>
<border/>
So here you can see that you have some basic properties you can sent, like color, padding, thickness but intellisence in visual studio will tell you all you need to know. and thats it, that is how to create a use a 'border' in XAML in Silverlight.
