I fixed this by using XamlReader.Load to create a StackPanel at runtime.
Something like this: XamlReader.Load(@"<StackPanel xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007""; xmlns:x=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"";> <TextBlock TextWrapping=""Wrap"">" + contentGoesHere + @"</TextBlock></StackPanel>"); The contentGoesHere string can have <LineBreak/> in it. Then you just add the stack panel as a child control to a control on your page. It's a bit "dirty" but it works. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Price Sent: Saturday, 28 June 2008 12:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzSilverlight] Text property vs Content Hi, I've got some text in a database which I'm binding to the Text property of a TextBlock. It doesn't seem to be honouring the tag's below <Run Text="First line of text here."/><LineBreak />This is the second line of text.<LineBreak/>Third line. It works fine if I remove the binding and place the line above in between the <TextBlock> and </TextBlock> elements. I tried setting the property Text="<Run Text='First line of text here.'/><LineBreak />This is the second line of text.<LineBreak/>Third line." and it no longer worked. So it's not the binding that is the problem here, it seems that anything in the Text property is interpreted literally whereas the text in the content part of the TextBlock (ie between the elements) can be proper Xaml. Is there a trick to get the Text property to be interpreted as Xaml and not just a literal string? I need linebreaks with my bound data. thanks, Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzSilverlight.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
