Is there a way to combine static text AND binding in one TextBlock? Because StringFormat don't work in windows phone 7. I try
<TextBlock Text="{Binding strAudioArtistName, StringFormat=StaticText: {0}}"/>
but don't work....
Thank

Actually if you can change your viewmodel and do the formatting in a property you will get much better performance than relying on an IValueConverter.
I use a pattern along these lines to still give me property change notifications
string _value;
public string Value { get { return _value; } set { _value = value; NotifyPropertyChanged("Value"); NotifyPropertyChanged("ValueFormatted"); } }
public string ValueFormatted { get { return "Static Text: " + _value; } }

This is true; despite my answer this is what I've been moving to as well. It's also easier to debug. – i_am_jorf Mar 06 '11 at 21:59

WP7 uses Silverlight 3. So, you don't get StringFormat. Use IValueConverter instead.
