Why don't you try using the TextWrapping property of that TextBlock?

XAML:

<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="very very very long text" Width="30"/>

C#:

myTextBlock.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;

If you don't want wrapping, then slapping on a horizontal/vertical scrollbar is another option that you may want to explore. Reading the question I think textwrapping might be more appropriate (doesn't sound like you want to hide anything), but options are always nice.

<ScrollViewer Height="30">
    <TextBlock Width="30" TextWrapping="Wrap">HElooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</TextBlock>
</ScrollViewer>

EDIT: Combines a word wrap and a scrollviewer.
