Or, to be more clear, how can I format a block of text (in my case, to be included within a tooltip) such that some portions of the text come from bound values. In plain C# I would use: _toolTip.Text = string.Format("{1:#0}% up, {2:#0}% down", Environment.NewLine, percentageOne, percentage2); However the WPF XAML markup for a Tex...

Hi! I'm currently trying to filter a text-file which contains words that are separated with a "-". I want to count the words. scanner.useDelimiter(("[.,:;()?!\" \t\n\r]+")); The problem which occurs simply is: words that contain a "-" will get separated and counted for being two words. So just escaping with \- isn't the solution of c...
Hi, I'm trying not to use the ',' char as a thousand separator when displaying a string, but to use a space instead. I guess I need to define a custom culture, but I don't seem to get it right. Any pointers? eg: display 1000000 as 1 000 000 instead of 1,000,000 (no, String.Replace() is not the solution I'd like to use :P) ...
I forgotten the name of this library. But it's sort of like Wiki how you type certain characters in front of your text, and then it'll make the text bold/italic/underline. I'm not asking for the way Wiki is formatted but I'm aware there is something similar built into Rails. It's at the tip of my tongue. Thanks. ...

I have a piece of text: <option A>/<option B>/<option C> (the number of options is variable) that I want to break only at the slashes. Keeping it from breaking elsewhere is trivial--replace the spaces with n...
