xaml Data Binding Formatting String Bindings
Example
When making a bind of something, for example a date you may want to show it in a specific format without messing around with it in the code.
To do this we can use the StringFormat property.
Here are some examples:
Text="{Binding Path=ReleaseDate, StringFormat=dddd dd MMMM yyyy}"
This formats my date to the following:
Tuesday 16 August 2016
Here is another example for temperature.
Text="{Binding Path=Temp, StringFormat={}{0}°C}"
This formats to:
25°C
