Solution!

From XAML:

```
<TextBox Name="myTextBox"
TextChanged="OnTextBoxTextChanged" Width="200"> 
<TextBox.Background>    <ImageBrush
ImageSource="TextBoxBackground.gif" AlignmentX="Left"
Stretch="None" /> 
</TextBox.Background></TextBox>
```

## From C#

```
// Create an ImageBrush.ImageBrush textImageBrush = new ImageBrush();textImageBrush.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new
Uri(@"TextBoxBackground.gif", UriKind.Relative));textImageBrush.AlignmentX = AlignmentX.Left;textImageBrush.Stretch = Stretch.None;// Use the brush to paint the button's background.myTextBox.Background = textImageBrush;
```
