How to use the symbol "{" in the xaml string

Question

How to use the symbol {in the xaml string? For instance:.

<TextBlock Text="{0}"/> 

I can do this starting with a space character:

 <TextBlock Text=" {0}"/> 

but I'm looking for a better solution.

Answer 1

Like this:

 <TextBlock Text="{}{0}"/> 

{} at the beginning tells the parser not to search for markup extensions.

Alternatively, you can specify data without using the attribute:

 <TextBlock>{0}</TextBlock>
