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

The answer of FarrEver, May 11 is good, but by me it doens't function. i still get American mm/dd/yyy instead my German dd/mm/yyyy. So I propose to find the regional settings of computer and use it in StringFormat

    Private Sub DGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs)
    If e.PropertyType Is GetType(DateTime) Then
        Dim dataGridTextColumn As DataGridTextColumn = TryCast(e.Column, DataGridTextColumn)
        If dataGridTextColumn IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim ShortDatePattern As String = System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.ShortDatePattern
            dataGridTextColumn.Binding.StringFormat = "{0:" + ShortDatePattern + "}" '"{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"
        End If
    End If
End Sub
