Remarks
The following image depicts what part of the ScaleBar is impacted by the TextColor Property:
TextColor considerations:
The default TextColor is White.
If the ScaleBar Control is sitting on an area of the SilverLight/WPF application where the background is also White, it will appear that no text is displayed. Change the TextColor to a color that contrasts with the background Silverlight/WPF application where the ScaleBar sits and the text will be revealed.
