Title Body

I'm looking for something along these lines: <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="Welcome, {Binding UserName}!" /> This will of course actually display the text "{Binding UserName}" to the user rather than decode it, but I know you can do something like this with ASP.NET, so I'm hoping there's a way to get this to work in WPF. I'm already aware that I could use an IValueConverter ...I'm looking for something I can do purely in markup if possible. EDIT: Based on @Matt Hamilton's most excellent solution, I attempted to push the envelope and bind two values into the same TextBlock using a MultiBinding . Works like a charm: <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource TextBlock_ValueStyle}" Grid.Column="1"> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}Attempts: {0:G} of {1:G}"> <Binding Path="AttemptNumber" /> <Binding Path="AttemptCount" /> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> This produces: Attempts: 1 of 4 (assuming AttemptNumber = 1 and AttemptCount = 4 ). I also found this link helpful for figuring out which formats to place after the colon: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fbxft59x.aspx
