StringFormat, XAML and Windows Phone

Daily work with the platform Windows Phone brings many surprises. Very often you can meet with the situation, that many things are unspoken in the documentation and the programmer must by himself discover how something works.

Update Mango for Windows Phone introduced a new version of Silverlight for platform. This update has added the ability to use StringFormat the data binding in a file XAML. Using this additional option is very simple:

<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Value, StringFormat=Currency: \{0:c\}}"/>

After this line you should see the number formatted as a currency. The result when you run this code do not fully correspond to what we expected. Yes, our number is formatted as a currency, but the name of the currency and number format is insensitive to change the location settings of phone.

Additionally, the application should support passing parameters during the boot.

Recently I needed to add a custom method Main(). I thought, it will be simple - a new class and the code. Of course I checked earlier, whether this method has not been defined in the files walkthrough.
