Share your code, what you have tried so far. – Davy Mar 16 '16 at 07:32
Mouse.GetPosition(MainWindow); Make sure MainWindow is the right instance that you are showing. If you are calling this method in MainWindow code behind just pass 'this' like 'Mouse.GetPosition(this);' – Davy Mar 16 '16 at 09:17

You should update textblock text "on mouse move" event.

Add the following in your MainWindow.xaml in the Window tag

MouseMove="Window_MouseMove"

And your method should look like this:

private void Window_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    Point position = Mouse.GetPosition(this);
    Cursorposition.Text = "X:" + position.X + "Y:" + position.Y;
}
