Question

I’m binding a TextBlock to a string through Caliburn.Micro. Now I wan’t to automatically detect URLs and display them as a clickable hyperlink.

I’ve tried doing so in a ValueConverter changing every URL to a Hyperlink. Unfortunately I now have “<Hyperlink...” displayed but no actuall link.

How would I do this?

You’ll never get this to work with TextBlock.Text, it will always be just plain text. You could bind the Content of a ContentControl and in the converter return a normal TextBlock or a TextBlock containing a Hyperlink
