C# WPF textbox when binding data,how to add other strings in the Text property?

Question

<TextBox x:Name="V2" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="8" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Text="{Binding airPlane}".../>

In the above code, if I want to add more things in the "Text" property besides binding the airplane data, e.g. to add a unit called "Pounds", how to modify the code? Thanks!

Are you sure, it is supposed to be a TextBox? What is supposed to happen when someone enters Text into your Box, what should airplane and pounds be? But, since you are talking about Units, maybe this is enough for you: {Binding airplane, StringFormat={}{0}Pounds} — Rand Random

Thank you very much, Rand and Rohit! {Binding airplane, StringFormat={}{0}Pounds} This is very helpful for me. I should use textblock instead. Can I bind 2 data using only 1 textblock split by a slash? — J.Jiang

You can use MultiBinding <TextBlock> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}{0} \ {1} "> <Binding Path="Value" /> <Binding Path="Value" /> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> — JSR

You can use Converters for it. For more see WPF Converters

I was about to say this.. Anyway, this is the best option I see fit.

@Ephraim Seems like OP went with StringFormat, wich in my opinion is the best option for his simple request. (see comments below question)
