In this case try several options:
A. Global setting language culture for the entire application, it can solve some problems related to the current language culture.
Add Startup
event for App.xaml
, which establishes the necessary language culture. It affects the display of the date, double values, sums of money, etc:
XAML
<Application x:Class="DataGridTargetUpdateHelp.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml"
Startup="Application_Startup">
<Application.Resources>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
Code-behind
public partial class App : Application
{
private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(System.Windows.Markup.XmlLanguage.GetLanguage("de-DE"))); // CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag return the current code of language
}
}
B. Use the
DataGridTemplateColumn
In this case you can set any Control
to display values in the DataGridCell:
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="ID">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ID, StringFormat={}{0:N2}}" xml:lang="de-DE" />
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>
