Here is how to declare a Border in UIXML:

<Border Name="border" Margin="16">
  <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="5,0,0,0">
    <Label Text="Label inside border" Margin="8" />
    <Button Text="Button inside border" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="8" />
  </StackPanel>
</Border>

Also, a Border can be created from code:

var Border = new Alternet.UI.Border();
Border.BorderColor = Alternet.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;
Border.Background = Alternet.Drawing.Brushes.Khaki;

If you want to display a border around your content, you must place the controls within a parent Border element.
