I'm attempting to implement a progress bar with a textbox on top that also displays the progress %. However the percentage is fractional. Is it possible to round a value returned in the dataset via the binding or does it have to be done via the code behind?

<ProgressBar Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Height="25" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"  Margin="5,5,5,2" Name="pbProgressIndex" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="Auto" Value="{Binding Path=ProgressIndex, Mode=OneWayToSource}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Height="25" Name="txtProgressIndex" Text="{Binding Path=ProgressIndex, Mode=OneWayToSource}" Width="Auto" Foreground="Black" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="14" FontFamily="Verdana" Padding="5" Margin="5,5,5,5" TextAlignment="Center" />

Use the StringFormat Property of the Binding, eg.:

{Binding Path=ProgressIndex, Mode=OneWayToSource, StringFormat=2N}

I ended up modifying the dataset to round the value when it was coming in and then using: Text="{Binding Path=ProgressIndex, Mode=OneWay, StringFormat={}{0}%}"

In addition to the StringFormat in Femaref's answer you need to get rid of the Mode=OneWayToSource settings. That mode is for pushing values from a control to a bound object (like a ViewModel) without receiving updates made to the value from code, which is the opposite of what you're trying to do. You want the OneWay mode for these which happens to be the default for both the TextBlock.Text. ProgressBar.Value used TwoWay by default, which will still work fine in this case, but you can also set it to Mode=OneWay.

Good call. I caught it before coming back to see the answer (YAY! copy and paste), but +1 for the attention to detail.
