  The methods I tried include

  <TextBlock Text="{Binding MySpecialChar}"/>

  private string _mySpecialChar;public string MySpecialChar

  {

  get { return _mySpecialChar; }

  set { _mySpecialChar = value; }

  }

  MySpecialChar = "This & that";

  ----- This Worked fine -----

  <TextBlock x:Name="lblSpecialChar"/>

  lblSpecialChar.Text = "This & that";

  ---- Even this worked fine;

  <TextBlock x:Name="lblSpecialChar"/> 

  string strSpecialChar = "This & that";

  lblSpecialChar.Text = strSpecialChar;

   --- This too worked fine. ..
