StringFomat Localization problem

Question

Hi

In WPF 3.5SP1 i use the last feature StringFormat in DataBindings:

 <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Model.SelectedNoteBook.OriginalDate, StringFormat='f'}"
                                   FontSize="20"
                                   TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" />

The problem i face is that the date is always formated in English...althought my system is in French ? How can i force the date to follow system date ?

thankd Jonathan

Answer 1

// Ensure the current culture passed into bindings is the OS culture. By default, WPF uses en-US as the culture, regardless of the system settings.

FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata( typeof(FrameworkElement), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata( XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));

Use Label (including Cultture) and not texblock
