Appending text in Silverlight XAML

Appending text in Silverlight XAML

Hi,

I have a Telerik combo box bound to a list of items. It displays them fine. All I wish to change is to append a property of another object to the start of the string in the combobox.

Currently, the combo box shows "ListOfItems.Name", I would like it to show "Object.Property --- ListOfItems.Name"

   <telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="radComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding ListOfItems}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedName, Mode=TwoWay}"/> 

Something along the lines of

   <telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="radComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding ListOfItems}" DisplayMemberPath="String.Append(Object.Property --- Name)" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedName, Mode=TwoWay}"/> 

How can I do this in my XAML code ?

I am not entirely sure I understand what it is you want to do, but if I have understood correctly you have to use the ItemTemplate property of the RadComboBox:

<telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="radComboBox"                  ItemsSource="{Binding ListOfItems}"                  SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedName, Mode=TwoWay}"> <telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>     <DataTemplate>         <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">             <TextBlock Text="Object.Property"></TextBlock>             <TextBlock Text=" --- "></TextBlock>             <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"></TextBlock>         </StackPanel>     </DataTemplate> </telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
