StringFormat is unfortunately not support in in WinRT. But you could use a converter instead:

public sealed class StringFormatConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        if (value == null)
            return null;

        if (parameter == null)
            return value;

        return string.Format((string)parameter, value);
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, 
        string language)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
