I have an application that should work a bit like a message board: text gets parsed, hyperlinks are made "live" and displayed. Only it's in Silverlight. Because of that, I can't use TextBlock like they do here WPF - Making hyperlinks clickable, somehow it's different in Silverlight and it's not possible to do a Hyperlink with a Run inside it.

I've tried the RichTextBlock, as it says here Wrapping Text and Hyperlinks in Silverlight, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to create the paragraphs and hyperlinks from code, since I need to populate it dynamically.

Then I thought I'd settle for a less elegant solution involving TextBlocks and HyperlinkButtons in a WrapPanel. I added a namespace reference, like it says here WrapPanel in Silverlight 4 toolkit, but when I reference it in XAML, there's no WrapPanel in it, only DataField, DataForm and VisualStateManager.

This Text areas and hyperlinks? doesn't work either, the Silverlight RichTextBox is different and LinkLabel is missing.

Maybe there's another solution that I don't know? I'm keeping an open mind. Any help appreciated.

  • The only workaround I've been able to find so far is to create a StackPanel of TextBlocks and HyperlinkButtons, so that every link is a separate line. – lukfi Jun 14 '12 at 08:38
