special character wpf

Question

a simple WPF question. I would like to have a button with content="<" (the "backward button") How to I achieve this because the following is wrong:

Content="<"

Answer 1

<Button Content="&lt;"/>

Remember that XAML is still XML, so the same escapes apply.

This is also what the compiler tells you in that case, at least it does for me:

The open angle bracket character '<' is not valid in an attribute. It should be written as '<'.
