Question

I need to show some string parsed as HTML content like TextBlock text i.e. no scrolling in text and size of control auto adjusts to size of string. I thought of converting the html to string and set this as content of textblock but I also want the formatted view of HTML tags. Is it even possible? If it is then how can I achieve this?

No, the TextBlock doesn't translate HTML tags like <b>bold..</b> to bold text if that's what you are trying to do.

But you could use the WebView control and its NavigateToString method to load a local HTML string into it and display on your XAML page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.webview.

Hope that helps.
