For me this worked   lt TextBlock Text  quot  Binding Date   StringFormat g  quot  Width  quot 130 quot   gt   If want to show seconds also using G instead of g    lt TextBlock Text  quot  Binding Date   StringFormat G  quot  Width  quot 130 quot   gt   Also if want for changing date type to another like Persian   using Language    lt TextBlock Text  quot  Binding Date   StringFormat G  quot  Width  quot 130 quot  Language  quot fa-IR quot   gt
