long text cropped in textblock

Question

I've a problem. I've a textblock and my text is cropped. It seems to appear only when the text is too long cause when the text is shorter, there is no problem.

So there is my code :

<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="150" />
        <RowDefinition Height="447*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Image Grid.Row="0" Source="{Binding TheContent.PathPicture}" />
        <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1">
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding TheContent.Text}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" />
            </Grid>
        </ScrollViewer>
</Grid>

Text is croping like this :

Is the only solution to summary my content ?

How is the text being cropped? Can you show an example which demonstrates this, please. — Matt Lacey, Jan 27 '11 at 10:20

The depth of a single textblock is limited to about 2000 pixels on WP7. You need to divide up your text into multiple blocks to display it all.

Controls are limited to 2k square, but there's a fairly straight forward resolution in breaking your text up and presenting the blocks in a stackpanel and wrapping that in a ScrollViewer.
