Chart Axis title: adding text to Binding value using StringFormat

[Mark]

Sorry for such a simple question as I'm new to WPF but how do I add text to my axis title in front of my binding value?

Here is my XAML that I'm trying:
<telerik:LinearAxis Title="{Binding YAxisLabelDescription, StringFormat='Profit: {0}'}"/>

My YAxisLabelDescription value is going to be "$" or "%" from my viewmodel. I would like to prepend the word "Profit" before the value in my XAML.

The problem is the only thing showing up is "$" or "%".

What am I missing?

Thank you,
Mark

Hi Mark,

The issue that you are experiencing is related to the fact that it is expected to bind the Title property to a complex business object. If you use the following approach, you will achieve the desired effect.

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
    <telerik:LinearAxis Title="{Binding YAxisLabelDescription}">
        <telerik:LinearAxis.TitleTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding StringFormat=Total: {0}}" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </telerik:LinearAxis.TitleTemplate>
    </telerik:LinearAxis>
</telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
