Hi All,

I am a newbie to WPF. I am working on the usercontrols in WPF where in I have a TextBlock in usercontrol.

I have a formatted string coming from my web service in the following format.

XML

This is <Bold>Sample</Bold>, <Italic>Text</Italic>

I need to set this text to the TextBlock of my user control.

When I set it like this, the output on the wpf screen comes as expected.

XML

<TextBlock Height="181" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="71,33,0,0" Name="textBlock1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="316">
            Test with <Bold>bold</Bold>, <Italic>italic</Italic> and
       </TextBlock>

How do I set the inline text of a TextBlock by code behind?

Thanks in advance.

"Happy Coding"

Solution 2

Refer - Basic HTML Markup in WPF TextBlock[^].

It suggests to use...

C#

textBlock.Inlines.AddRange(SierraLib.UI.WPF.Text.MarkupProcessor.HTMLtoWPF("<b><u><i>Show me some text!</i></u></b>"));

So, you need to replace the <Bold> with <b> and <Italic> to <i> before this code.
