Question

For example, I have the label:

<Label Content="{Binding SiteName, StringFormat={}{0}   |  }" />

The content of the label should appear as: “A Site Name    |   “. However, the spaces are omitted, as is the vertical bar.

I tried escaping the bar with the carat (^) as mentioned in another resource, but that didn’t work. Does anybody know how to do this?

Answer 1

Use a TextBlock instead of a Label

<TextBlock Text="{Binding SiteName, StringFormat={}{0}   |  }" />

(if you want to be sure the spaces are taken into account :

<TextBlock Text="{Binding SiteName, StringFormat='{}{0}   |  '}" />

Or, use the ContentStringFormat property of the Label instead of StringFormat.

<Label Content="{Binding SiteName}" ContentStringFormat="{}{0}   |  " />
