Property Value
Type: System.StringA composite string that specifies how to format the Content property if it is displayed as a string.
ContentStringFormat can be a predefined, composite, or custom string format. For more information about string formats, see Formatting Types. If you set the ContentTemplate or ContentTemplateSelector property of a ContentControl, the ContentStringFormat property is ignored.
The following example specifies the format of DateTime objects by setting the ContentStringFormat property in a Style and applying the Style to two Label objects, which inherit from ContentControl.
