Need to format dates in dynamically built WPF DataGrid

Question

We are binding an unknown result set to a WPF DataGrid at run time. Some of our columns are going to contain DateTime values and we need to properly format these date time

Answer 1

I figured out how to do this in code...hopefully there is a way to mimic this in XAML. (Please post if you find a working XAML sample.)

To accomplish this in code, add an event handler for the Grid's AutoGeneratingColumn event, such as:

private void ResultsDataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.PropertyType == typeof(DateTime))
    {
        DataGridTextColumn dataGridTextColumn = e.Column as DataGridTextColumn;
        if (dataGridTextColumn != null)
        {
            dataGridTextColumn.Binding.StringFormat = "{0:d}";
        }
    }
}
