WPF XAML StringFormat DateTime: Output in wrong culture?

Question

I\'m having some trouble with the output of a DateTime value. My computer\'s current culture is set to de-AT (Austria).

The following code

string s1 = Da

To apply the solution mentioned at http://tinyurl.com/b2jegna do the following:

(1) Add a Startup event handler to the Application class in app.xaml:

(2) Add the handler function:

private void ApplicationStartup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
    FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(
        typeof(FrameworkElement),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));
}

WPF strings should then be formatted correctly according to culture.
