WPf: binding to multiple properties at the same time

I have a list in which I am using a binding to display my information. I am using a simple data template. Is there a way to link two data in one control. I would like to replace with something like:

<code>

<TextBlock Text = "{Binding LName}" />

<TextBlock Text = "," />

<TextBlock Text = "{Binding NName}" />

code>

to something like

<TextBlock Text = "{Binding LName} + ',' + {Binding FName}" />

thank

If you're using WPF 3.5SP1 or higher, you don't need to write your own value converter for your use case. Instead, just use StringFormat

:



<TextBlock>
  <TextBlock.Text>
    <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}{0}, {1}">
      <Binding Path="LName" />
      <Binding Path="FName"/>
    </MultiBinding>
  </TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>

Yes. You would use MultiBinding along with IMultiValueConverter .



The MultiBinding help shows an example doing exactly what you are trying to do - binding one textbox to the first + last names.
