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 would use a DataTemplate with a DataType of Date or DateTime (depending on which it will come through as). Place a TextBlock in the DataTemplate with a StringFormat in the binding.

Something like this should work (untested)

Or if you want it to apply just in the Grid
