ContentControl.ContentStringFormat Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets a composite string that specifies how to format the Content property if it is displayed as a string.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
ContentStringFormat can be a predefined, composite, or custom string format. For more information about string formats, see Formatting Types in the .NET Framework. 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.
<StackPanel xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"> <StackPanel.Resources> <Style x:Key="DateLabel" TargetType="Label"> <Setter Property="ContentStringFormat" Value="dddd – d - MMMM"/> </Style> </StackPanel.Resources> <!--The results when the default culture is en-US is March 4, 2005.--> <Label Style="{StaticResource DateLabel}"> <sys:DateTime>2004/3/4 13:6:55</sys:DateTime> </Label> <Label Style="{StaticResource DateLabel}"> <x:Static Member="sys:DateTime.Now"/> </Label> </StackPanel>
