| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | CheckAccess | Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |

![]() ![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | FindName | Gets an object in the Silverlight object model by referencing the object's x:Name or Name attribute value. (Inherited from TextElement.) |
![]() ![]() | GetAnimationBaseValue | Returns any base value established for a Silverlight dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetValue | Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | OnCreateAutomationPeer | Returns a class-specific AutomationPeer implementation for use by the Silverlight automation infrastructure. (Inherited from TextElement.) |
![]() ![]() | ReadLocalValue | Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() ![]() | SetValue | Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |

The Run and LineBreak objects are the basic content units of a text block. To format the text in a text block, you can apply formatting to various Run objects. The Inlines property of a TextBlock object is an InlineCollection that holds the text block contents.
A Run is also used in the Paragraph and RichTextBox content model.
Any text in the inner text of a XAML TextBlock object element is implicitly converted to a Run object and stored in the TextBlock.Inlines property collection.
You can name a Run (or any other TextElement) by using the Name property or x:Name in XAML. Naming a Run enables you to make changes programmatically. For example, you can change the text dynamically or reorder a text element collection.
