I have a simple window and textbox, when i try to paste this code to the textbox

You need to allow your TextBox to accept newlines:

AcceptsReturn="True"

Is the textbox set to accept new lines? Set these properties to the textbox:

TextWrapping="Wrap" //Wrap text within the text box
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" //If you want scroll bars
AcceptsReturn="True" //This does the magic.

Make sure to allow multi-line by:

TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" AcceptsReturn="True"

I probably spent a good hour or two on this. Ugh. I finally noticed that the paste was stopping at a paragraph (i.e., newline). This insight allowed me to Google to something useful (this answer). Need keywords C# Paste Truncated Incomplete Newline or somesuch. I used C# years ago, and didn't have this issue. Thanks
