I am trying to format string after a date has been selected by the DatePicker. The Format that I am getting is "9/5/2013 12:00:00 AM" and what I am trying to get is "9/5/2013". Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the string format?
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Start">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Start, StringFormat=d}" FontFamily="Verdana" />
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding Start}" FontFamily="Verdana" >
<DatePicker.CalendarStyle>
<Style TargetType="Calendar">
<Setter Property="DisplayMode" Value="Month"/>
</Style>
</DatePicker.CalendarStyle>
</DatePicker>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
Try the following:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Start, StringFormat=d}" />
This requires .NET 3.5 SP1 or above.
Btw.: StringFormat is case sensitive. "d" is the short date format specifier while "D" is the long date format specifier.
