I have a textbox bound to a property in an object. I have setup the string format to be p0.

However, when I enter 12 for example it is formatted as 1200% (multiplies by 100 and add % sign)

How can i set the stringformat so that for exampe 20 is formatted as 20% ?

My current control is :

<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=MyCase, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True, ValidatesOnExceptions=True, StringFormat=p0}"/>

how t change the string format so that the format for 7 is 7% not 700% ?

What about dividing your input data by 100?

Please take a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1790975/format-decimal-for-percentage-values I have the same issue, but I do want to multiply the value by 100 for the representation since I store the percentage values in a decimal col.

Note: You can add a format string to this syntax, just add a ':' followed by your format ('C', 'F6', "#.####", etc.)ex. {}{0:0.00}% for 82.345 displays 82.35%For details see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kfsatb94.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx
