I am developing window phone 7 application in C#. I am new to the window phone 7 application. I am also new to the silverlight. I want to generate the bold text of Texblock dynamically. I want to generate the bold text only for some part of the text. I am using the following code

IncometextBlock.Text = "Income entries on " + selectedDate.ToShortDateString() + "        Page - "+SelectedButtonName+"";

I want the output as

"Income entries on 21/01/2011 Page - A"

I'd do it like this.

IncometextBlock.Inlines.Clear();
IncometextBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run() {Text = "Income entries", FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold});
IncometextBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run() {Text = " on " }); 
IncometextBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run() {Text = selectedDate.ToShortDateString(), FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold});
IncometextBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run() {Text = "     Page - "}); 
IncometextBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run() {Text = SelectedButtonName, FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold});
