Is it possible to have an image as a background in Markup and write text on top?

</Grid>

Can the Image be stretched to fit the Cell? Or other attributes?

Hello,

it stretched by default.

Enter in MarkupPad:

<Page xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>
<Grid>
<Image Source=" - file://c:\windows\zapotec.bmp"/ >
<TextBlock Cursor="Hand" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">Enter Text Here</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Page>
