Windows 8.1的Visual Studio 2013

Question

I am designing an calculator interface with visual studio 2013.I need to enclose "{" and "}" braces as two buttons in calculator.But when "{" button include as the button content,there is an error saying "mark up extension does not properly called".How can I enter the "{" brace just as a sign in the content field. Thanks.

In XAML you can escape the curly brace by adding extra opening and closing curly brace like this:

<Button Content="{}{This is a text with curly braces}" />

Or you can use the extended version without any escaping:

<Button>
    <Button.Content>
        {This is a text with curly braces}
    </Button.Content>
</Button>
