XAML TextBlock and Run binding

I have a problem where the binding of the Run does not work. Here's my current code.

<TextBlock
  x:Name="txtCompanyName"
  Text="{Binding Path=SelectedItem.CompanyName, ElementName=lbSourceList}"
  Foreground="White"
  FontSize="18.667"
  Height="33.667" 
  Margin="10,-0.5,0,-1.5">
  <Run Text=" : " Foreground="White"/>
  <Run Text=" "/>
  <Run Text=" " Foreground="White"/>
  <Run Text=" "/>
  <Run Text="{Binding Path=SelectedItem.RFQID, ElementName=lbSourceList}" />
</TextBlock>

I am getting the company name appears but the extra data never shows up. Any ideas why this type of binding fails?

Alternate Answer Along With Final Answer

<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" 
           Text="{Binding RFQID}" 
            FontWeight="Bold" 
            Foreground="#FFFFF504" 
            HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="185"> 
            <Run Text=" ~ "/> 
            <Run Text="{Binding RFQNo}" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FFFFF504"/> 
            <Run Text=" ~ "/> 
            <Run Text="{Binding Status}" FontWeight="Bold" 
                                         Foreground="#FF85F35F"/>
 </TextBlock>

Also: make sure the bound value is String.

Another potential cause, if you're finding that a binding works in <TextBlock Text="{Binding...}" /> but the same binding fails in <TextBlock><Run Text="{Binding...}"...:

The <TextBlock Text=... binding implicitly invokes ToString() for non-string values, but <Run Text= does not.

You cannot use the Inlines (the Run child nodes) and the TextBlock.Text at the same time.
