Binding to show double as int

Question

I want to to show the duration in minutes on my control but I don't want it to show up as with decimal numbers (eg, 65 instead of 65.94503).

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Duration.TotalMinutes, StringFormat=\{0\} minutes}" />

How can I do it?

If you want an integer to display, I think that all you need to do is set the StringFormat property as follows:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Duration.TotalMinutes, StringFormat=N0}"/>

+1, Additionally {Binding Duration.TotalMinutes, StringFormat='{0:N0} minutes'} works.

Do that in code instead of the markup. You can unit test that easily. Make TotalMinutes a string or int instead and format it in the ViewModel.
