How do I add text inside a shape in XAML
In WPF XAML you could do something simple like this:
<Grid Width="60" Height="100">
<Ellipse Fill="Yellow"/>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Text="Hello"/>
</Grid>
To get text in the centre of a yellow ellipse.
I'm guessing something that simple will work on WinRT.
