Question

I’m trying to combine 2 fields of information in my grid by using a Multibinding, the multibinding is working fine but I’m having problems when I try to start formating 1 of the fields which is a date in this binding.

The 2 fields are Users Initials i.e. EGJ and the entry date hoping to achieve a combined field looking like “EGJ – 01/01/2011”

Below is where I’m with my existing XAML

<tk:DataGridTextColumn.Binding>
  <MultiBinding StringFormat=" {0} - {}{1:dd/MM/yyyy}">
    <Binding Path="UserInitials" />
    <Binding Path="EntryDate" />
  </MultiBinding>
</tk:DataGridTextColumn.Binding>   

Any help or pointers are most appreciated

Answer 1

Couldn’t see the wood for the trees

Simply removing the empty braces solved my problem.

<tk:DataGridTextColumn.Binding>
  <MultiBinding StringFormat=" {0} - {1:dd/MM/yyyy}">
    <Binding Path="UserInitials" />
    <Binding Path="EntryDate" />
  </MultiBinding>
</tk:DataGridTextColumn.Binding>

Thanks to everyone who took the time to look.
