Set TextBlock to preserve white space at the beginning and at the end?

Question

EDIT:

The code below actually works as I want - this question a little misleading. Please ignore it.

---

Normally when I set Text property of TextBlock like this:

TextBlock tb = new TextBlock(); tb.Text = "     Hello World "; 

The whitespace at the beginning and at the end of text are not shown. The text shown by TextBlock is only Hello World. How can I set TextBlock to display them (i.e., not remove the whitespace)? Am I missing some property?

In this case you don't need to use xml:space="preserve"

<TextBlock xml:space="preserve" Text="     Hello world!    " /> 

WILL display the whitespaces, however

<TextBlock>    Hello world!    </TextBlock> 

won't.
