A:
You could create a new property on your view model to bind to. For example, lets say you have two properties, FirstName & LastName. If you wanted to display the fullname in that column, you could create the new property to bind to, like this:
public string FullName { get { return FirstName + " " + LastName; } }

this is a good idea, thanks. it has limitations though, such as it is more difficult to localize because it is in code, not in XAML.

Assuming that your localization binding is done using DynamicResources, you can still use those Resources in code-behind.

basically, the answer is that it is impossible, and i need to create a property that combines other properties.
