XAML Label Text: Binding + DynamicResource (String Format?)

Question

For Xamarin.Forms - XAML files:

is there a way to bind the Text Property (in XAML) of a Label to a Binding + DynamicResource? Maybe with string format?

for example I tried something like this:

<Label Text="{DynamicResource resource, Binding binding, StringFormat='Resource: {0} and Binding: {1}"} />

But one cannot declare a binding if a dynamic resource is set, same problem if trying it vice versa (eg. no dynamicresource if binding already set)

• or with a value converter that returns the binding string to "binding string + dynamic resource"? (Creating a valueconverter for this seems too overwhelming)
• in code this might work with string.Format(...)

Seems like MultiBinding is not supported in Xamarin.Forms applications.

This is a nice workaround that kind of implements full multibinding support for Xamarin:

Here is a simpler implementation ready to be used:
