Use StringFormat for special output in XAML-Binding

Question

I have an integer value named Id and want a Label in Xaml to display the following:

(ID: 160)

I tried the following:

<Label Content="{Binding Id, StringFormat='(ID: {0:0})'} />

but it doesn't work - it just displays the value of Id:

160

How can I get this working without using a special ValueConverter class?

You have to use ContentStringFormat for content controls instead of the binding's StringFormat, has been asked various times before, will have to look for that.

As i said, for content controls it is ignored... – H.B. May 13 '16 at 18:09
