Odd question as I’ve never attempted this before in my usual data binds.
Say if I was binding data to a textbox and my data was a specific number “123”, yet I wanted the textbox to display “Data: 123”. Without adding that extra piece of information “Data: ” to the return in the object itself, is this possible?
You can do it adding a converter to your control binding, see for example http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/07/30/format-data-in-silverlight-databinding-valueconverter.aspx
