You can do this:

XAML

<TextBlock Foreground="Black">This is normal text. <TextBlock Foreground="Red">This is red text.</TextBlock> This is more normal text.</TextBlock>

If you want to do it the way you indicated (in code-behind), you can use any free online code converter to find out how to do it in VB.Net.

I have tried several code converters, but they do not convert the code. Apperently the converters have a problem with 'inlines'.

I know this is going to sound like a radical concept, but you could try actually typing it into your source file. Intellisense should guide you. Try this:

tb.Inlines.Add(New Run("some text") With { .Foreground = Brushes.Blue })

Caveat - I don't do VB, so this is just a guess based on past exposure to the language (10 years ago).

Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.
