Upgraded my Windows Phone 8.1 app. Still no PlaceholderText in TextBox / PasswordBox

So I needed a placeholder text in the PasswordBox for my Windows Phone app. My app was built as a Windows Phone 8.0 project. Then the 8.1 update came and I found out that it contains a property on a TextBox and a PasswordBox named PlaceholderText

. So I upgraded to 8.1 by right clicking my project and clicking "retarget for Windows Phone 8.1" after which I checked for NuGet package updates (there weren't).

The thing is, my .xaml doc still can't find this property PlaceholderText

. So what can I be missing?

According to this thread Placeholdertext

is only applicable for WP 8.1 Universal (RunTime) apps.

Make sure your server is not a WP Silverlight application.



Hope this helps!
