Formatted text in a TextBlock in Windows Phone C#

You can also display a series of strings in a TextBlock, where each string has a different formatting. You can do this by using a Run element to display each string with its formatting and by separating each Run element with a LineBreak element.

The following XAML shows how to define several differently formatted text strings in a TextBlock by using Run objects separated with a LineBreak.

XAML

<Grid>
    <TextBlock FontFamily="Arial" Width="400" >
        <LineBreak/>
        <Run Foreground="Maroon" FontFamily="Courier New" FontSize="40">
            Courier New 24
        </Run>

n style="color: blue;"><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="Teal" FontFamily="Times New Roman" FontSize="30" FontStyle="Italic">
Times New Roman Italic 18
</Run>
<LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="SteelBlue" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="20" FontWeight="Bold">
Verdana Bold 14
</Run>
</TextBlock>
</Grid>

The following illustration shows the result of the previous XAML.
