Text vertical alignment in WPF TextBlock

by

A Textblock itself can’t do vertical alignment

The best way to do this that I’ve found is to put the textblock inside a border, so the border does the alignment for you.

<Border BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Height="50">
    <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Some Text" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>

Note: This is functionally equivalent to using a grid, it just depends how you want the controls to fit in with the rest of your layout as to which one is more suitable
