Hi !

You can set the background image in textbox and write the below code in textbox text change event:-

```
private void txtSearch_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)        {            if (txtSearch.Text != "")            {                this.txtSearch.Background = null;            }            else            {                ImageBrush mybrush = new ImageBrush();                mybrush.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Image Path"));                this.txtSearch.Background = mybrush;            }        }
```

thanks
