Modify text supplied by DictionaryConverter

ECarson

Hi,

I'm using the ESRI's example of displaying MapTips and this is working fin. My question is how do you then modify the string that is passed back. At the moment the code below shows a Date string "12/03/2010 12:00AM", i would like to show only "12/03/2010". Can I modify this in xaml directly and if so how, or does this need to be done in vb?

<esri:FeatureLayer.OutFields>
   <sys:String>DATE_</sys:String>
</esri:FeatureLayer.OutFields>
<esri:FeatureLayer.MapTip>
  <Border CornerRadius="10" BorderBrush="#FF222957" BorderThickness="3" Margin="0,0,15,15">
    <Border.Background>
      <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="1.038,1.136" StartPoint="0.015,0.188">
        <GradientStop Color="#FFD1DFF2"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#FF0088FF" Offset="0.946"/>
      </LinearGradientBrush>
    </Border.Background>
    <Border.Effect>
      <DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="10" BlurRadius="14" Direction="300" />
    </Border.Effect>
    <StackPanel Margin="7">
      <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource MyDictionaryConverter},
                 ConverterParameter=DATE_, Mode=OneWay}" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Black"  />
    </StackPanel>
   </Border>
</esri:FeatureLayer.MapTip>
....

Thanks for any suggestions,
