Can we concat two properties in data binding?

Question

Can we concat two properties together in binding expression? If possible without converter or without writing two textblocks and setting them individually?

Answer 1

You can add a new property with a getter that performs the concatenation.

Say you have FirstName and LastName properties. You can then define a Name property as follows:

public string Name { get { return FirstName + " " + LastName; } }

This will work well, but you should be aware that you cannot do two-way binding for a read-only property. Also you may want to implement property changed notification for the concatenated property in the setters for the source properties.
