WPF binding StringFormat syntax

Question

How can I format a decimal value conditionally in a WPF window?

Currently I use bellow mark up to format the decimal value, but it displays 00 when the value is 0.00. Please help.

<TextBlock
  Grid.Column="6"
  Padding="2"
  Text="{Binding Path=TotalAwardsExpended, StringFormat='{}{0:0,0}'}" />

The extra 0 comes from the 0 after the colon.

Instead, try {}{0:#,0}.

"0" | Zero placeholder | Replaces the zero with the corresponding digit if one is present; otherwise, zero appears in the result string.
