How To Add Properties To New Object That You're Instantiating?

var par = new Paragraph(new Run(""));
par.BorderBrush = Brushes.Black;
ThicknessConverter converter = new ThicknessConverter();
par.BorderThickness = (Thickness)converter.ConvertFromString("0.02cm");

I'm trying to later change "par" to have different text in it, but I don't know how to do it without resetting the properties:

par = new Paragraph(new Run("new text"));

Is there either a way to combine the lines setting the border brush and thickness with the instantiation of par, or just to change the text in the run?

What you would want to do is create, and assign a variable, as the Run(); object. Run has a text property that you can change.

var run = new Run("");
var par = new Paragraph(new Run(""));
par.BorderBrush = Brushes.Black;
ThicknessConverter converter = new ThicknessConverter();
par.BorderThickness = (Thickness)converter.ConvertFromString("0.02cm");
run.Text = string.Empty; //Your code here

Changing the Run object should change what the variable par has.

I think it's something like

var par = new Paragraph(new Run("")){BorderBrush= Brushes.Black, etc.};

Since it will be working on references why don't you just create a string:

string text = "";

use that instead and then you can change it programmatically or through a text box or something.
