WPF how can i bind multiple properties in datagridrow

Question

I've bind the static property in DataGridRow (not DataGridTextcolumn). How can I bind it?

I already have bind a static property in a normal grid manually. Code is shown below(But now how to bind a property in DataGridRow-Wise).

I think what you ware looking for is MultiBinding:
