Use “real” CultureInfo.CurrentCulture in WPF Binding, not CultureInfo from IetfLanguageTag

Question

In my case:

I have a TextBlock Binding to a property of type DateTime. I want it to be displayed as the Regional settings of the User says.

Answer 1

This is an extension of answer from aKzenT. They proposed that we should create a subclass of Binding class and set the ConverterCulture to CurrentCulture. Even though the answer is very straight forward, I feel some people may not be very comfortable implementing it, so I am sharing the code version of aKzenT's answer with an example of how to use it in XAML.

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Windows.Data;

namespace MyWpfLibrary
{
    public class CultureAwareBinding : Binding
    {
        public CultureAwareBinding()
        {
            ConverterCulture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
        }
    }
}

Example of how to use this in XAML

1) You need to import your namespace into your XAML file:

2) Real world usage of the CultureAwareBinding
