WPF Date String Format in XAML
23,258
Try the following:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Start, StringFormat=d}" />
This requires .NET 3.5 SP1 or above.
Btw.: StringFormat is case sensitive. "d" is the short date format specifier while "D" is the long date format specifier.

I am trying to format string after a date has been selected by the DatePicker. The Format that I am getting is "9/5/2013 12:00:00 AM" and what I am trying to get is "9/5/2013". Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the string format?
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Start"> <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Start, StringFormat=d}" FontFamily="Verdana" /> </DataTemplate> </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate> <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate> <DataTemplate> <DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding Start}" FontFamily="Verdana" > <DatePicker.CalendarStyle> <Style TargetType="Calendar"> <Setter Property="DisplayMode" Value="Month"/> </Style> </DatePicker.CalendarStyle> </DatePicker> </DataTemplate> </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate> </DataGridTemplateColumn>
