    TextDecorationCollection myCollection = new TextDecorationCollection();
    myCollection.Add(myUnderline);
    TextBlock2.TextDecorations = myCollection;
}

' Use a Red pen for the underline text decoration.
Private Sub SetRedUnderline()
    ' Create an underline text decoration. Default is underline.
    Dim myUnderline As New TextDecoration()

    ' Create a solid color brush pen for the text decoration.
    myUnderline.Pen = New Pen(Brushes.Red, 1)
