How to bind data with a constant string on Windows Phone 8

I have an ItemsControl in my ApplicationPage.xaml and I'm binding data to it with the following code:

<ItemsControl>
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Margin="24" Text="{Binding someNumber}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>

When this is displayed, I want it to display a constant string next to someNumber. If the list contains 5, 3, 2 as someNumber values, and if the constant string is "foo" then it should look something like this:

5 foo

3 foo

2 foo

Is there any way I can accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Use string format:

<TextBlock Margin="24" Text="{Binding someNumber, StringFormat={}{0} foo}" />

If the string is fixed then maybe like this

<ItemsControl>
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Stackpanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <TextBlock Margin="24" Text="{Binding someNumber}"/>
            <TextBlock Margin="24" Text="Foo"/>
            </Stackpanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
