Francesc, 
 Here is some example C# code for creating text. 
 //you'll need to get the textstyle you want to use before creating your text block
TextBlock labelBlock = new TextBlock(textStyle, Session.Instance.GetActiveDgnModel());
labelBlock.AppendText("Line One");
labelBlock.AppendLineBreak();
labelBlock.AppendText("Line Two");

labelBlock.SetUserOrigin(labelOrigin); 
labelBlock.SetOrientation(dMatrix3D);

TextNodeElement textElement = (TextNodeElement)TextNodeElement.CreateElement(null, labelBlock);
SetElementProperties(textElement, coreBoringSettings.textLevelName, SymbologyValue.ColorByLevel, 1, "ByLevel");
textElement.AddToModel();

The primary API for text in both C++ and .NET is the TextBlock . From DgnPlatformNET help: this is the master object that represents a piece of text as a whole, and is the primary high-level object used to deal with multi-line, formatted text (and is also generally recommended for any text, regardless of complexity). As described in the Text module documentation, TextBlock consists of a DOM (Document Object Model) . 
 
 To acquire a TextBlock from an element, use the ITextQuery handler interface 
 To modify the text of an element, use the ITextQuery and ITextEdit interfaces to get/set the text 
 To create a free-standing text element from a TextBlock, use TextHandlerBase::CreateElement 
 
 When you create an element from a TextBlock , the choice of a TextElement or a TextNodeElement is automatic. That is, TextHandlerBase::CreateElement creates a text node if there are multiple text parts in the TextBlock , or a text element if there is a single text part in the TextBlock .
