Get rid of Visual Studio Namespace error message
It seems to me that your main application namespace is TreeViewTestC and not MyNameSpace. Therefore, you may well need to tell the compiler that your MyNameSpace is actually in the TreeViewTestC assembly, despite you only having a single project. Try using this instead: xmlns:MyTree="clr-namespace:MyNameSpace;assembly=TreeViewTestC" ...

Is it possible to concactenate a DataBound value with a constant string in XAML DataBinding?
You can use a StringFormat in your binding, like so: <TextBox Text="{Binding ItemName, StringFormat={}Item: {0}}"/> That being said, it may cause some unexpected behavior when editing. For example, if the user edits only the item name (excluding the 'Item:' text), then when the TextBox loses focus, the string format will...

It appears you just have to remove the {}: <system:String x:Key="MyFormat">{0:h\:mm tt}</system:String> The {} is required for attribute values to prevent them from being interpreted as a markup extension. However, with property element syntax, you no longer need the {} because curly braces do not have special meaning in that...
