# Adding Simple Text Content to the Reflector

## Content

You can add simple text to the C1Reflector control by setting the **Content** property to a string. Once the text is added, you will see the text and its reflection and the C1Reflector control.

**At Design Time in Blend**

To add simple text to the control, complete the following steps:

1. Select the C1Reflector control once to select it.
2. Under the Properties panel, set the Content property to "Hello World!".

**In XAML**

To add simple text to the control, add Content ="Hello World" to the `<c1ext:C1Reflector>` tag so that the markup resembles the following:

```xml
<c1ext:C1Reflector Content="Hello World!">
```

**In Code**

To add simple text to the control, complete the following steps:

1. Add x:Name=C1Reflector1 to the `<c1ext:C1Reflector>` tag. This will give the control a unique identifier that you can use to call it in code.
2. Switch to Code view and add the following beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

```vbnet
C1Reflector1.Content = "Hello World!"
```

```csharp
C1Reflector1.Content = "Hello World!";
```

3. Run the program.
