Answer 1

You should encode the special characters:

<TextBlock Text='You shouldn&apos;t choose &quot;Copy if New&quot;:'/>

• ' for '
• " for "

Answer 2

There are defined XML escapes & " for " and & ' for ' -- if the XML handling in XAML doesn't interpret those properly, then start to worry.

Answer 3

If you don't want to encode special chars you could use:

<TextBlock>
  <TextBlock.Text>
     You shouldn't choose "Copy if New":
  <TextBlock.Text>
</TexBlock>
