Definition

public string StringFormat { get; set; }
member this.StringFormat : string with get, set
Public Property StringFormat As String

Property Value

A string specifying the format for the value of this binding.

Remarks

Used for providing a display format for the binding value or compositing the value with other text. Implementors of BindingBase decide how the string format is utilized, but all support standard Format conventions.

Binding allows for one argument for its singular value.

A simple example showing compositing text and determining the display format for the value with a Binding

Label label = new Label();
label.AddBinding (new Binding (Label.TextProperty, "Price") {
  StringFormat = "Price: {0:C2}"
});
