How to do it...

Perform the following simple steps to add a border around TextBlock:

1. Open the MainWindow.xaml file of your WPF project.
2. Now replace the default Grid with a StackPanel.
3. Add a few TextBlocks inside it, wrapped by a Border. Here's the complete XAML code:

<StackPanel Margin="10"> 
    <Border BorderBrush="OrangeRed" 
            BorderThickness="2" 
            Margin="10 4" Padding="10"> 
        <TextBlock Text="Text surrounded by border"/> 
    </Border> 
    <Border BorderBrush="OrangeRed" 
            BorderThickness="2" 
            CornerRadius="20" 
            Margin="10 4" Padding="10"> 
        <TextBlock Text="Text surrounded by border,
        having corner radius = 20"/> 
    </Border> 
    <Border BorderBrush="OrangeRed" 
            BorderThickness="2" 
            CornerRadius...
