Hi, I am binding an object to a TextBox with the following XAML:
<TextBox x:Name="Amount" Text="{Binding Path=Amount, StringFormat={}{0:N2}, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
When I open the window the Text property is set to 0.00. I have several of these TextBoxes, which makes it tedious to delete every value before entering a new one.
Is there a neat way to keep the format and delete the zeros?

If only 0 must be displayed without decimals, then try these formats: StringFormat={}{0:0.00;-0.00;0}.
Maybe StringFormat={}{0:0.##} is suitable too.
the first format works partially. It displays only one zero. Is it possible to delete it?
The second format also shows a zero. But it's not what I need, because I can't enter a decimal with two decimal places.
P.S. I use .Net 5.0
If you do not want to show 0 at all, then try: StringFormat={}{0:0.00;-0.00;''}.
Some applications uses this approach: when the text box becomes active, the text is automatically selected (highlighted), so that the users can start typing and overwriting the numbers without removing the values.
