I want to display items in a list control using DataTextFormatString to
format them. The list control is bound to an array of Person objects. I want
to format each item as "LASTNAME, Firstname". So would need a format
expression like "{0}, {1}" where 0 is Person.Lastname and 1 is
Person.Firstname.

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Would be nice, wouldn't it?

For now, you'll either have to use a TemplateColumn or concatenate the
strings in the DataSet.
