Vertical Text in Wpf TextBlock

by

Nobody has yet mentioned the obvious and trivial way to stack the letters of an arbitrary string vertically (without rotating them) using pure XAML:

<ItemsControl
  ItemsSource="Text goes here, or you could use a binding to a string" />

This simply lays out the text vertically by recognizing the fact that the string is an IEnumerable and so ItemsControl can treat each character in the string as a separate item. The default panel for ItemsControl is a StackPanel, so the characters are laid out vertically.

Note: For precise control over horizontal positioning, vertical spacing, etc, the ItemContainerStyle and ItemTemplate properties can be set on the ItemsControl.
