WPF StringFormat={0:C} showing as dollars

by

I’m not sure if this has been fixed in .NET 4, but WPF has never picked up the current culture when rendering things like currency or dates. It’s something I consider a massive oversight, but thankfully is easily corrected.

In your App class:

protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
    FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(
        typeof(FrameworkElement),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(
            XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(
            CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));
    base.OnStartup(e);
 }

See this excellent post for more information.
