A converter could be a good option here

for example it would make sense that you have a Person object in this case. For your textbox bind to the person object and pass it through a converter. the converter could take the values and return your combined string

something like the following

        // this would be your convert function inside your converter that implements the  IValueConverter interface
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        Person p = value as p;
        if (p != null)
        {
          return string.Format("{0},{1}", p.LastName,p.FirstName);

        }
return string.Empty; //or you could show an error maybe...

    }

There's not a direct way to do what you're asking.

Create a third property that returns the formatted value and fire a PropertyChanged event for it when either firstname or lastname change.
