Making Text Clickable in Silverlight for Windows Phone 7(brendan.enrick.com)

I’ve seen a lot of snippets of code online where people are trying to make text clickable in Windows Phone 7, and plenty of them are using the OnMouseLeftButtonDown event to do it. Well to put this lightly, this is not the best way of handling a click in the Windows Phone 7 environment. The reason is that we have to put the “left button” down in order to scroll. The “left button” is our finger, so if we try to scroll down and press our finger on the text we will be activating the event by mistake.
