  • Formatting data in WPF DataBinding.

    An easy way for formatting data according to our needs in WPF data binding is to use a Converter alongwith a ConverterParameter.

    As seen below, all we need to do is write a converter which takes Format String as a parameter. Inside the converter we can format the data based on the Format String passed in as the converter parameter.

     

    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Price,Converter={StaticResource formatter},ConverterParameter='\{0:C\}'}"/>

     

    Note:Since the Format String has curly brackets we need to escape these using backslash.
