I think you are looking to put a watermark in the textbox. Here is an article which shows how

Answer 2

From what I can understand of your Question, you are asking if there is a Way to add a Placeholder to a Textbox in WPF,
the WPF controls have all a Tag property where you can set an object attached to the control, but if the Placeholder is something you need to find the control you can use the property x:Name to give it a name in XAML and then from the csharp class you can find your Textbox by name

<TextBox n:Name="MyTextbox" />

in xaml

MyTextbox.Text = "This is the text";

is how to assign a text to the textbox from code.
