The only way I know of is to use two text boxes or a converter.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Asheesh Soni Sent: Tuesday, 19 May 2009 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Silverlight Binding Expressions Hello I have a very trivial problem, but all the solutions to it seem to be a bit of an overkill. Just looking for a simple solution.... So here's the problem: Bind a Textblock to more than one field.... (or a string and a field) For example: <Textblock Text="{Binding FirstName + " " + LastName}" /> Or, <Textblock Text="{Binding "You are logged in as:" + {LoginName}}" /> I know the following solutions already: 1. Have two Textblocks with clean and simple bindings. 2. Use a Converter (with ConvertBack for two way binding). 3. Use Xambda (Yeah, I mean a Generic Lambda Converter used in Xaml with a Lambda expression) References for Xambda: http://www.fikrimvarnet/lestirelim/?p=15<http://www.fikrimvar.net/lestirelim/?p=15> http://marlongrech.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/embed-code-in-xaml/ And I know advocates of Designer/Developer work flow will argue that embedding complex expressions in Xaml defeats the whole purpose and leads to the bad (or good) old days of spaghetti code. But I guess, having trivial code in Xaml (eg {FirstName} + {LastName}) shouldn't really be a problem. Basically, All I need is a built-in, in-line Converter for one-way binding in Xaml, without having to create my own one line Converters for such trivial transformations. Any ideas?
