Today I discovered a little trick with XAML binding while working on a Windows Phone 8 app.

Let's say you have a TextBlock, and its value is bound like so:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding MyInnuendo}" />

Which works fine, but suppose I want to add some additional text, formatting, etc, kinda like a string.Format? I guess you could just do that in a property on whatever model object you're binding to, but you can also do this:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding MyInnuendo, StringFormat='\{0\}, if you know what I mean'}" />

Now the extra text and formatting will show up. I just thought it was a nice little trick; I'll leave it up to you to decide if you should do it this way.
