I didn't see a Silverlight docs page for this, but the WPF page is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970677.aspx, and all the same symbols seem to work in Silverlight:

        <TextBlock Text="&lt;" />
        <TextBlock Text="&gt;" />
        <TextBlock Text="&amp;" />
        <TextBlock Text="&quot;" />

I guess is becuase of the way the xaml (contains the is TextBlock) is loaded.

This happens when the xaml string is loaded through:

mayControl : Control;

mayControl  (){

base.Template = (ControlTemplate)XamlReader.Load(theXamlString);;

base.ApplyTemplate();  <== failed at this.

}
