wpf - binding stringformat on label using string literal

wpf xaml string-formatting

Label.Content is object so you can't use Binding.StringFormat there as the binding's target type must be string in order for it to work.

Two work arounds are: use TextBlock instead of Label and bind the Text property.

<Label ContentStringFormat="Current Value {0} of 10" Content={Binding ...} />

You only need to escape the string with {} if your first character is a {

wpf xaml string-formatting

As far as the StringFormat you specified above, you have to escape your string.

StringFormat="{}Current Value {0} of 10"
