Binding with custom text in WPF

Question

Can i write something like this in WPF(i know that this piece of code is wrong, but need to know if there is kind of this construct):

<TextBlock Height="50" Text="Test: {Binding Path=MODULE_GUID}" />

Or always to add some text to binding value i must do something like this:

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
   <TextBlock Height="50" Text="Test: " />
   <TextBlock Height="50" Text="{Binding Path=MODULE_GUID}" />
</StackPanel>

Starting with .NET 3.5 SP1, you can use:

<TextBlock Height="50" Text="{Binding Path=MODULE_GUID, StringFormat='Test: {0}'}" />

Simply use string format in Binding

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=MODULE_GUID, StringFormat='Your Text Goes Here {0}'}" />

Remember {0} must be there.
