The Silverlight Control Toolkit's Hyperlink Button is a nice little control. But almost immediately I ran into one of its shortcomings: it doesn't support text wrapping.

Fortunately, this can be solved pretty easily.

Just wrap a TextBlock inside the HyperlinkButton control.

In XAML, it looks like:

   1: <HyperlinkButton NavigateUri="http://www.itscodingtime.com">

   2:     <TextBlock Text="this text will wrap" TextWrapping="Wrap" />

   3: </HyperlinkButton>

In C# code:

   1: var textBlock = new TextBlock { Text = "this text will wrap", TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap };

   2:  

   3: var lnkBtn = new HyperlinkButton

   4: {

   5:    Content = textBlock,

   6: };

   7:  

   8: uxWrapPanel.Children.Add (lnkBtn);

I create a new TextBlock, initializing it with some text and the TextWrapping property set to "Wrap". Next, add it as the Content property in a new HyperlinkButton. Last, I add it to a WrapPanel, which is the context in which I am working in.

That's it.
