XAML Using String Format

You won’t want those date viewed in some plain numbers won’t you? That’s why we’re using StringFormat!

Instead shown as ‘20/10/2011’ it will shown nicely as 20 October 2012

One way is by using ContentStringFormat

<Label
	Content="{Binding Path=DateAsked}"
	ContentStringFormat="{}{0:dd MM YYYY HH:mm:ss}" />

Another way is using StringFormat on binding

<GridViewColumn 
   	 	Header="Order ID"
	DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=OrderID, StringFormat='{}{0:dd.MM.yyyy}'}" />

Format List

Date

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Date, StringFormat={}{0:MM/dd/yyyy}}" />

Date with Time

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Date, StringFormat={}{0:MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt}}" />

Currency

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Amount, StringFormat={}{0:C}}" />

Text in front of the currency

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Amount, StringFormat=Total: {0:C}}" />
