Question

I have a metro app and want to bind a <TextBlock> element to a string which contains some HTML formatting elements. I seem to remember there being a converter for this kind of thing pre-WinRT, but I can’t find any reference to this in the WinRT namespace.

Here’s an example of the string:

This is<br>a string with some formatting<br>elements<img src="http://image-url">

At the minute I’m just binding this to a TextBlock and getting a poorly formatted piece of markup. Without writing a mini-converter myself, is there a way to deal with this for WinRT?

Answer 1

You can use WebView and WebView has method WebView.NavigateToString(HTMLContent). Hope this might help.
