Default Button content with data binding WPF

Question

This may be something simple I'm missing. Is it possible to set Button content to binding while still showing some default text in designer?

Ex. <Button Content="{Binding buttonContent}"/>

Binding works properly, but in designer the button content is just blank. We would like it to show some text like "Start" in designer.

Use a FallbackValue:

<Button Content="{Binding buttonContent, FallbackValue=Start}"/>

I believe what you are looking for is TargetNullValue.

For your example it would look like this:

<Button Content="{Binding buttonContent, TargetNullValue=Start}"/>
