Silverlight binding using stringformat to display blank for 0

Question

Is it possible to somehow make 0 values appear blank using the StringFormat property, or is it acheivable by writing a custom converter?

The value is of double type.

Input is 0, output should be "". But when input is other than 0 then output should equal input.

EDIT:

I tried :

sdk:DataGridTextColumn x:Name="colBidQty" Header="Bid Qty" Binding="{Binding BidPrice.Quantity, Mode=TwoWay, StringFormat="{}{0:#}"}" Foreground="Black" ToolTipService.ToolTip="{Binding Path=BidPrice.ToolTip}" ToolTipService.Placement="Right" />

can you give an example? what is input and what you want as an output. — Vishal

No, not replace all zeros, the value will be just one 0, then replace with "", else do not. — sprocket12

@MuhammadA, it seems to be different in Silverlight. Give this a try: Binding="{Binding BidPrice.Quantity, Mode=TwoWay, StringFormat='{}{0:#}'}" — dkozl

To sum up comments, you can specify StringFormat as {0:#} which will replace 0 with empty string:

Binding="{Binding BidPrice.Quantity, Mode=TwoWay, StringFormat='{}{0:#}'}"
