Answer 1

just use the AccessText control. you can use it like a label and you have the property TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow"

eg.

Mine is like that and it's working fine. Also, you don't have any problems on changing the text dinamically.

Answer 2

this 
 did not work for me, when I used binding. But this works:

$"first line {Environment.NewLine} second line"

Answer 3

<LineBreak/> will not work if it is inside a collection such as Grid or StackPanel. In such cases the following would work as shown:

Answer 4

I know this is ressurecting an old question, but I had the same problem. The solution for me was to use HTML encoded line feeds (
).

Line1
Line2

Looks like

Line1
Line2

Answer 5

The Best way that worked for me for multiple lines in the same Textblock is:

<TextBlock>  
    text1  
    <LineBreak/>  
    text2  
</TextBlock>

Make sure to not use TextWrapping="Wrap". Use TextWrapping="NoWrap" or use nothing.

I'm late to the party but .. this is more or less how I did it ,(mind my ItemSources are plain strings, not formatted , and I didn't need to 'convertBack' anything)

public class SpaceToLineBreakConverter : IValueConverter
{   
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {            
        return (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(value as string)) 
        ? new Regex(@"\s").Replace(value as string, "\n") 
        : value;            
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter,System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
