How to get a WPF TextBlock to scroll where the Text property is set asynchronously?

Question

I have a TextBlock, wrapped in a ScrollViewer, and the Text property of the TextBlock is set with the result of a Task. The scrollbars of the TextBlock do not adjust to the size of the text returned by the task.

Any ideas?

<Grid>
   <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
      <ColumnDefinition Width="500"/>
   </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

   <ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" 
                 Height="177" 
                 Width="500" 
                 HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
      <TextBlock Height="177" 
                Text="Extracted Xml" 
                Width="504" 
                HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                TextWrapping="Wrap" />
   </ScrollViewer>
</Grid>

Solution

ScrollViewer calculates it's scrollbars based on dimensions of child controls.

Thus, remove Height property from your TextBlock and ScrollBars should work as expected

MaxHeight also should be removed if present.
