Append default string to a label in WPF

I need to display Time inside a Li.e. '20 min'. My data is stored as integer so 'min' should be appended. Is there a way to append a default string 'min' to my bound value?

You can simply use the Binding.StringFormat property to format or append additional information to your data bound value:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Time, StringFormat={}{0} min}" />

When Time has a value of 25, this renders like so:

enter image description here

You can also try using ' marks, but you'll have to leave an initial space:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Time, StringFormat=' {0} min'}" />

UPDATE >>>

Thanks to @Krishna for the following information:

To use the string format with a Label control, you must use the ContentStringFormat property instead:

<Label Content="{Binding Time}" ContentStringFormat="{}{0} min}" />

You can use Run like below

<TextBlock><Run Text="{Binding Time}"/><Run Text=" min"/></TextBlock>
