How to put string with markup into TextBlock by binding? (WPF)

Question

I have ability objects, each has a property with a string like get <Span Foreground="#00FF00">35</Span> mana . In the application, the text should be displayed with a green number.

But with Binding <TextBlock Text="{Binding SkillDescription}" /> "Span" is not applied, but is displayed as text.

Result of binding should be: <TextBlock>get <Span Foreground="#00FF00">35</Span> mana</TextBlock>

Please help with solving the problem.

Answer 1

TextBlock can't interpret HTML. You can archive it by WebBrowser control. I think that under this link you can see possible solution: Displaying html from string in WPF WebBrowser control

Answer 2

for TextBlock you can declare Inlines (Span equivalent is Run ):

<TextBlock>
    <Run Text="get"/>
    <Run Text="35" Foreground="#00FF00"/>
    <Run Text="mana"/>
</TextBlock>

Run.Text supports Binding, so it can be, for example:

<Run Text="{Binding ManaValue, Mode=OneWay}" Foreground="#00FF00"/>

There are also examples how to Bind all InLines: see this answer by B. Tossings
