Question

I was wondering something, and couldn’t find any relevant topics. I have following binding :

Content="{x:Static resx:Resource.Form_OtherOption_Description}"

This will place a string in a label. What i was asking myself is if i can add a “:” after that binding, not in code, just in xaml. The label represent something like “Name :”. But adding the “:” as part of the binding is not an option.

Edit

I’m working in 3.5 version

Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

You could accomplish this with something like:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Source={x:Static resx:Resource.Form_OtherOption_Description},
                         StringFormat={}{0}:}" />

Edit: <Label>s Content property does not respect the StringFormat property of a binding apparently. Which I’ve found has been moved to the ContentStringFormat property on the <Label>.

<Label Content="{x:Static resx:Resource.Form_OtherOption_Description}"
       ContentStringFormat="{}{0}:" />
