is there an easier way to write variables contents to the screen apart from assigning to a textbox.
I have 4-5 textboxes already and it would be better if i could writeln to the screen
I dont like trace vars or breakpoints .
i am tring to do better debugging in silverlight

do you know if you double click the title bar of the output window in visual studio, you can move the output window any where on your screen. Is that you wanted?

hi you can use textbox with text-wrap property equal to true
e.g.
<TextBox Height="77" Margin="173,0295137" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Text="TextBox" TextWrapping="Wrap" x:Name="Target1"/>

is there a way to just write to the silverlight app from vb.net? like a writeline?
All these textboxes get messy.
not sure what the 1st reply was saying but i wanted to display values on the silverlight app

use Textblock. Append your text to the TextBlock.Text;
<Textblock x:Name="message" />
in code:
this.Message.Text += "Your new line of text\n\r";

What the first reply means is that you can use the debugging features of VS2008 to debug instead of writing it to your SL application.
When using Debug.WriteLine("My debugging data"); in the code it writes to the output window in VS2008.
You can place this window anywhere you like, so you can tile the windows to view the output window and the application at the same time.

The answer is no. When we look at the properties for the Canvas control:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.canvas_properties(VS.95).aspx
we see that there are no properties to display text.
