Double click on project propertites to see the Target Framework Version.

Is it 3.5?

I am receiving the following build error:
The property ‘StringFormat’ does not exist on the type ‘Binding’ in the XML namespace ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation’.

I have the following in my xaml:

I have 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed (I also installed the VS2010 Beta 2 if it is relevant)

I would appreciate help in resolving this.

Thanks

I thought this could be because I have the wrong version of .net but then I have 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed (I also installed the VS2010 Beta 2 if it is relevant)

You “could” not use stringformat and instead, use a converter to perform some custom formatting.

Hope this helps,

About my issue, indeed I was changing the culture after the application was started.

The bottom line is that some users mess with current culture. This happens anytime you have people from different countries, and they want to use your application. Now you can imagine why I had to force culture. In Brazil and Colombia the decimal point is comma, in Mexico is like US, they use a “dot”.

When displaying these formatted numbers, I saw differences: some notebooks has a Thread CurrentCulture as en-US, others es-CO, es-MX, and so on.

My goal was to unify the way people enters a decimal number in WPF app source code to use always a dot as decimal point.

I’m aware how to use resources files and globalization in Win32 app, now it’s time to start using it on WPF, I saw on http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/InternationalizedWizard.aspx that it’s posible, and a little different, but’s it’s fine.

Tell me what do you think about this: if we can’t change people’s culture configuration, is it ok to force it to a specific format? or… should we use a numeric format preseted in a resource file?

thank you again for helping, much appreciated!!

Are you switching cultures after the applicaiton starts or are you forcing a culture on appliation startup?

If so, read the article Josh Smith and I wrote on Code Project. The International Wizard article. We show how to propertly set the culture on application startup. There is a special line of code you have to add to get the WPF data binding system to work with the new culture.
