StringFormat does not work in Silverlight Control

I have a piece of code for a Text Box in a XAML File. The text box takes as input Numeric Value.Below is the piece of code:-

 <TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Revenue, StringFormat=c0, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource NullableConverter}, NotifyOnValidationError=True, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True, ValidatesOnExceptions=True}" Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="2"/>

However if I input 5 and tab out the input does not become 5 $. However, on saving the data in the page and loading the page the formatting is intact. Any thoughts on this ??

If you are using SL5 I think this is a bug, the StringFormat is not triggered when the binding is updated. For more details here is the MS connect issue. You can check the workaround it might help you solving the problem.

please remove the converter and try it, you should get it. should be something wrong with converter.

this is what I tried for Nullable Converter it worked.

    public class NullableConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if (value == null)
            return 0;
        else
            return value;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return value;
    }
}
