The C1Reflector control can hold text content, Windows Phone controls, and DataTemplates as its content. The C1Reflector control will cast a reflection of the content.
Text Content
If you just wanted to reflect a short phrase, you would just set the Content property to a string. It would look similar to this:
The example above is a little plain, but you can spruce up the text by setting just a few properties. You can change the font to a built-in Windows Phone font (or add your own font to the project), change the font color, and customize the font size from the Properties panel in Blend or Visual Studio. The image below uses a 36 point Georgia font in red.

Control Content
Adding control content is just as simple. You can add
controls to the
C1Reflector control in Blend by selecting a control icon and then using a
drag-and-drop operation to add it to the C1Reflector
control 's container. If you prefer to use XAML, you just wrap the
<c1ext:C1Reflector> tags around the control so that your
markup looks as follows:
<my:C1Reflector Width="400">
<Slider Width="400"/>
</my:C1Reflector>
The control will appear similar to the following:

Adding Multiple Controls
Content property can only accept one control at a time. However, you can get around this limitation by adding a panel-based control as the C1Reflector control's child element. Panel-based controls, such as a StackPanel control, are able to hold multiple elements. The panel-based control meets the one control limitation of the C1Reflector control, but its ability to hold multiple elements will allow you to show several controls in the content area at the same time.
