<h4><span id="propertyvalue">Property Value</span>
</h4>

<p><a href="o_collection.htm">Collection</a>
</p>

<p>A collection that holds all inline text elements within the
<a href="o_textblock.htm">TextBlock</a>.</p>

<p>This property is read-only. The default value is an empty
collection.</p>

<h4>Applies To</h4>

<p><a href="o_textblock.htm">TextBlock</a>
</p>

<h4>Remarks</h4>

<p>You can add inline text elements such as <a href=
"o_run.htm">Run</a> or <a href="o_linebreak.htm">LineBreak</a> to
the collection, by first creating the element with <a href=
"m_silverlightcontrol_createfromxaml.htm">CreateFromXaml</a> and
then passing the return value to <b>Inlines</b>.<a href=
"m_collection_add.htm">Add</a> or <b>Inlines</b>.<a href=
"m_collection_insert.htm">Insert</a>. Unlike the initial XAML
markup, you cannot simply add a string. You must create a new
<a href="o_run.htm">Run</a> that has string content in order to add
text to an existing <b>Inlines</b> collection.</p>
You can also remove elements from the existing collection using
<b>Inlines</b>.<a href="m_collection_remove.htm">Remove</a> or
<b>Inlines</b>.<a href="m_collection_removeat.htm">RemoveAt</a>.

<p>You can access elements in the existing collection with
<b>Inlines</b>.<a href="m_collection_getitem.htm">GetItem</a>, or
clear the entire collection with <b>Inlines</b>.<a href=
"m_collection_clear.htm">Clear</a>.</p>
A <a href="o_textblock.htm">TextBlock</a> can be thought of as
having two simultaneous object models within it:&lt;/&gt;

<ul>
<li>A representation as a <b>Text</b> property, which represents
only string content (no formatting other than the formatting
declared at the <a href="o_textblock.htm">TextBlock</a>
level).</li>

<li>A representation as an <a href=
"p_textblock_inlines.htm">Inlines</a> collection. The collection
contains primarily <a href="o_run.htm">Run</a> objects, each of
which can declare its own formatting properties such as <a href=
"p_textelement_fontsize.htm">FontSize</a>. The <b>Text</b> property
still returns a value (the appended text of all <a href=
"o_run.htm">Run</a> elements in the <a href=
"p_textblock_inlines.htm">Inlines</a>) but does not capture any
formatting applied to the <a href="o_run.htm">Run</a> elements. If
created from XAML as inner text of a &lt;TextBlock&gt; tag, or by
setting to <b>Text</b> property, the <a href=
"p_textblock_inlines.htm">Inlines</a> collection contains a single
<a href="o_run.htm">Run</a> that contains that text.</li>
</ul>

<p>You can choose to work with either object model. However, you
should be aware that if you adjust the text by appending to the
<b>Text</b> value, when the text is actually a series of text
elements with individual formatting in an <a href=
"p_textblock_inlines.htm">Inlines</a> collection, you will flatten
the previous <a href="p_textblock_inlines.htm">Inlines</a>
collection content and replace it with a single new unformatted
<a href="o_run.htm">Run</a> with your new text. This generally is
not a desired behavior.</p>
