Combine text to String.Format

Question

I have this StringFormat StringFormat={}{0:#,0}} that represent decimal numbers and I want add text of my own after this number.

This is what I have tried (but it does not compile with the text inside the StringFormat)

Content="{Binding Path=(my:MyClass.MyStaticProperty),StringFormat={}{0:#,0}} My Text"

my:MyClass.MyStaticProperty is integer type.

Hmm, doesn't `StringFormat={}{0:#,0} Some text here}` work? - EDIT: Nevermind, it doesn't. — Mike Eason, Jul 13 '15 at 11:24
user @VMaleev: what about my binding ? i am using binding inside mt text property — user979033, Jul 13 '15 at 11:32
`Text="{Binding Number, StringFormat={}{0:#.0} Some Text}"` compiles and runs well for me. — Clemens, Jul 13 '15 at 11:39
Please specify what exactly you expect. Is the after-decimal part of text bound or it's static text? — keymusicman, Jul 13 '15 at 11:46
`StringFormat` only works if the type of the target dependency property is `String` — Lukazoid, Jul 15 '15 at 12:13
improved grammar, added tag, removed language name from title and reworded to better explain problem. — Harry, Jul 15 '15 at 12:15

As you use Label, Content cannot be formatted with StringFormat. Please view this topic.

Your solution is to use ContentStringFormat:

<Label Content="{Binding Source={x:Static my:MyClass.MyStaticProperty}}"
       ContentStringFormat="{}{0:#.0} My Text"/>
