Set the DataFormatString using style/resource

[Scott Waye]

Hi,

Is it possible to set the DataFormatString using a style or a StaticResource?  It would be good to specify the format for certain columns in one place and just reference that format in the xaml.

Hello Scott Waye,

You may define the DataFormatString as a string Resource as follows:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <sys:String x:Key="DataFormatString">{0:P}</sys:String>
</UserControl.Resources>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Number}"                                                                    DataFormatString="{Binding Source={StaticResource DataFormatString}}"/>

Thanks, but this is not my scenario! I'd like to localize format string from string resource not static from XAML! How???

Hi Sandi Markon,

Localization of the Caption of an AggregateFunction may be performed by the help of LocalizationManager. More information may be found in this forum thread.
