[Solved] Currency CellContentFormat

[jasonxz]

This is the only documentation I can find about the CellContentFormat property and it's not exactly helpful for my goal:

http://www.telerik.com/help/windows-8-xaml/datagrid-columns-textcolumn.html

Anyways, all I want to do is use the CellContentFormat property of the DataGridTextColumn to render a decimal value into a "Currency" format.  I can't imagine this is difficult, but I can't figure it out (probably just need to go to bed).

I'd prefer to be using the DataGridNumericalColumn (http://www.telerik.com/help/windows-8-xaml/datagrid-columns-numericalcolumn.html)but it doesn't seem to be a part of the version of the tools I have.

Never mind.
I found it in the Grid example that came with the tools:

CellContentFormat="{}{0,0:C0}"

Oh, and if you want it to show cents as well as dollars, it looks like this:
CellContentFormat="{}{0,0:C2}"
