Windows Phone 7 textBox

I am working in Windows phone 7, and I am learning the basics in it. I basically have a textBox which can get a username in it, and I want it to have a placeHolder like example@abc.com, and on tapping the textBox, the text should disappear and the it should be empty for input.

How do I setup a placeholder ? And if possible, can you help me with the code for email verification ? Thanks !

I believe the PhoneTextBox from the wp7/Silverlight toolkit is all you need. :)

<toolkit:PhoneTextBox Hint="example@abc.com" />

Some tutorial.
