You can bind to ANY property on a static class using the x:Static markup extension but if thy do not implement any change tracking, it might cause errors on the refresh! <TextBlock Text=”{Binding Source={x:Static sys:Environment.MachineName}}” />
Try the TextAlignment property instead of HorizontalAlignment. First one is the alignment of text in the TextBlock, second the alignment of the TextBlock in the parent container.
Wrap the TextBlock inside a ViewBox: <Grid> <Viewbox> <TextBlock TextWrapping=”Wrap” Text=”Some Text” /> </Viewbox> </Grid>
You can use a InputBinding. <TextBlock Text=”Hello”> <TextBlock.InputBindings> <MouseBinding Command=”” MouseAction=”LeftClick” /> </TextBlock.InputBindings> </TextBlock> Edit: Hyperlink is probably worth a mention too. <TextBlock><Hyperlink Command=”” TextDecorations=”None” Foreground=”Black”>Hello</Hyperlink></TextBlock>
There is, if you are on .Net 3.5 SP1 <TextBlock Text=”{Binding Path=Artist.Fans.Count, StringFormat=”Number of Fans: {0}”}” />
You should use the property “TextDecorations” of the TextBlock. Like that: <TextBlock Text=”H” TextDecorations=”Underline”/>
textBlock.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
There is a string format property available when you are declaring the binding: <TextBox Text=”{Binding Path=DateTimeValue, StringFormat=dd-MM-yyyy}” /> (You need to be on .NET 3.5 SP1 for this property to exist)

Contents of the TextBlock can be wrapped using property TextWrapping. Instead of StackPanel, use DockPanel/Grid. One more thing – set ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility property to Disabled value for the ListBox. Updated Hidden to Disabled based on comment from Matt. Thanks Matt.
