创建分层的自定义控件模板（WPF 4 / .net 4.0 / C＃）

Question

I need some help in trying to recreate the following style:

The sea of red can be ignored because it's just the background the textbox is sitting on.

To create the textbox I use the following xaml:

            <TextBox Name="tbSorageName"
                     Grid.Column="1"
                     Width="250"
                     Height="30"
                     Margin="0"
                     HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                     VerticalAlignment="Top"
                     IsReadOnly="True"
                     Style="{StaticResource MainTextBoxStyle}"
                     Text="{Binding SelectedStorage.Name,
                                    Mode=OneWay,
                                    UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />

To style it, I used the following style:

<Style x:Key="MainTextBoxStyle" TargetType="TextBox">
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Snow" />
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Calibri" />
    <Setter Property="TextAlignment" Value="Center" />
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource MainTextBox_BGBrush}" />
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{DynamicResource MainTextBox_BorderBrush}" />
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2" />
    <Setter Property="TextAlignment" Value="Left" />
</Style>

The Brushes I use are:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MainTextBox_BGBrush" Color="#3A3A3A" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MainTextBox_BorderBrush" Color="#656565" />

That creates the basic textbox I use in my application, but I want to take my design much further by floating some meaningful text that describes the contents of textbox on the right hand side of the text box - So it should be anchored to the right hand side.

You can do this easily via 2 approaches.

1.Create a user control that consists of a textbox and a textblock. The Xaml for the UserControl would look similar to the following

<Grid Width="{Binding Path=Width, ElementName=tbSorageName}" Height="{Binding Path=Height, ElementName=tbSorageName}">
   <TextBox Name="tbSorageName"
                 Grid.Column="1"
                 Width="250"
                 Height="30"
                 Margin="0"
                 HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                 VerticalAlignment="Top"
                 IsReadOnly="True"
                 Style="{StaticResource MainTextBoxStyle}"
                 Text="hello" />
    <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="5" Foreground="Red" FontStyle="Italic">Name</TextBlock>
</Grid>

2.Overlay an Adorner on the textbox and draw the description over the Textbox yourself via an OnRender Override.

I would go with the Usercontrol approach since that is cleaner and easier to maintain.
