DateTimeFormatterConverter for WinRT

With there being no StringFormat on a binding in WinRT yet you can use this converter to leverage the crazy (different) DateTimeFormatter object:

    public class DateTimeFormatterConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
{
var formatter = new Windows.Globalization.DateTimeFormatting.DateTimeFormatter(parameter.ToString());
return formatter.Format((DateTime)value);
}

public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}

Usage:


<converters1:DateTimeFormatterConverter x:Key="DateTimeFormatterConverter" />

<TextBlock Text="{Binding DealDate,
Converter={StaticResource DateTimeFormatterConverter},
ConverterParameter=day month year}"
