<StackPanel.Resources>
<Style x:Key="DateLabel" TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="ContentStringFormat" Value="dddd – d - MMMM"/>
</Style>
</StackPanel.Resources>

<sys:DateTime>2004/3/4 13:6:55</sys:DateTime>
</Label>
<Label Style="{StaticResource DateLabel}">
<x:Static Member="sys:DateTime.Now"/>
</Label>
</StackPanel>
ContentStringFormat can be a predefined, composite, or custom string format. For more information about string formats, see Formatting Types. If you set the ContentTemplate or ContentTemplateSelector property of a ContentControl, the ContentStringFormat property is ignored.
