WP7 wrap text around image

I have an image with a large amount of text to the right in a textblock control. How can I get that text to wrap on the right and below the image?

The standard TextBlock and Image controls wouldn't work for you.

I think you'd either:

  • have to use HTML inside a WebBrowser (this is potentially very slow and ugly!)
  • have to use multiple TextBlock's and you'd have to measure the text in order to implement the wrapping out yourself.

It might be an idea to consider a different layout - is the text really free flowing and needs wrapped around the image? Or can the text be split up into header, caption, body, etc?
