Is it possible to setup some form of conditional formatting of textblock controls in XAML so that the color of the text can be changed depending on the text (eg. Text = "good" then set to green, Text = "bad" then set text to red.)
I have tried some examples but they don't seem to work, presumably because WP8 works differently.

One simple way is in the view with DataTrigger
s like:
Namespaces:
xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity"
xmlns:ei="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactions"
Control:
<TextBlock x:Name="TheText" Text="{Binding Blah}"/>
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<ei:DataTrigger Value="Red"
Binding="{Binding Text, ElementName=TheText}">
<ei:ChangePropertyAction PropertyName="Foreground"
Value="Red" />
</ei:DataTrigger>
<ei:DataTrigger Value="Blue"
Binding="{Binding Text, ElementName=TheText}">
<ei:ChangePropertyAction PropertyName="Foreground"
Value="Blue" />
</ei:DataTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</TextBlock>
Or you could wire up the condition in code. Hope this helps.
