Silverlight Date Formats

Question

I'm having some very strange date formatting issues in a Silverlight application. My local culture is tuned to the UK, but I constantly see American dates popping up everywhere. I can easily hard-code them in the UK format in certain expressions using:

<UserControl ... Language="en-GB"...>

But, as I am sure, you will all agree that this is a terrible thing.

I tried installing Lanaguage on en-GB in the main application, and this has partial success. I also tried the Justin Angels suggestion (published here: How to change the date format in a Silverlight DatePicker control? ), Again only partial success.

An example of a problem can be seen here:

In a datagrid, the parent page displays formatting in the UK, while information in ChildWindow shows formatting in the US ... grrrr

Does anyone have a final solution to solve this problem throughout the application?
