TEXTBLOCK:

The TextBlock control is one of the most fundamental controls in XAML, yet it's very useful.
In .NET you used Label here we used TextBlock both are same only. It allows you to put text on the screen, much like a Label control does, but in a simpler and less resource demanding way. A common understanding is that a Label is for short, one-line texts (but may include e.g. an image), while the TextBlock works very well for multiline strings as well, but can only contain text (strings).

XAML CODE FOR TEXTBLOCK:

    <StackPanel x:Name="TitlePanel" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0,200,0,349" >
      <TextBlock Text="MY APPLICATION"  FontSize="25"/>
      <TextBlock Text="Query Home TEXTBLOCK Sample" HorizontalAlignment="Center"  FontSize="20" Height="130" Margin="76,0,43,0" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="361"/>
   </StackPanel>

TEXTBOX:

This article discusses how to create a TextBox and set its various properties such as background and foreground colors, setting size and positions, fonts, wrapping, scrolling, and input validations.

SYNTAX for TEXTBOX:

    <TextBox />
    <TextBox></TextBox>
    <TextBox>Enter something here</TextBox>
