Data Annotations not working

I am new to Silverlight 4.0 building a business application. I have tried ussing some of the Data Annotation attributes with both the DataForm and the DataGrid. The Display and Editable attributes work without a problem, but DisplayFormat seems to be ignored. Am I missing something or are these attributes not supported by the DataGrid and DataForm?

DisplayFormat is not picked up by the Silverlight controls. If you wanted to control the display format you could either use the StringFormat on the Binding or a custom converter built against the IValueConverter interface. Most likely you will do something like this:

<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Header="Cost" Binding="{Binding Path=Cost, StringFormat=\{0:c\}}" />
