Question

I have learned how to format strings in the content attribute of a label like this:

<Label Content='{Binding ElementName=theSlider, Path=Value}'     ContentStringFormat='The font size is {0}.'/> 

I want to do the same thing in a Setter but ‘ValueStringFormat’ doesn’t exist, what is the correct syntax to do what I want to accomplish here:

<DataTrigger Binding='{Binding Path=Kind}' Value='Task'>     <Setter TargetName='TheTitle' Property='Text'         Value='{Binding Title}'         ValueStringFormat='Your title was: {0}'/> </DataTrigger> 

Answer 1

Can you simply use the StringFormat property of the Binding itself?

<DataTrigger Binding='{Binding Path=Kind}' Value='Task'>     <Setter TargetName='TheTitle' Property='Text'          Value='{Binding Title,StringFormat='Your title was: {}{0}'}'          /> </DataTrigger>
