In the WPF version there was a way to control what was returned when the user did not enter a value. Is there something similar in the Silverlight version?
Hi,
Currently the way to do this would be to set a ValueConverter on the column and just check if the value is null, and return whatever value you want.
In 11.1 we'll be adding support for Data Annotations which will include support for the DisplayFormatAttribute's NullDisplay text property. So you'll be able to attribute you're underlying data.

Support similar to WPF would be better, i.e. setting the desired behavior on the column. If I use a converter, then if I need an actual converter for the behavior I have to chain them. I also can't put attributes on my data since it is dynamic and not just a POCO object (changes at run time). I'll just continue using my workaround in the code that uses it.
Thank you for your feedback about this functionality. I am glad that you have currently workaround that is working for you. As Steven say currently you can use ValueConverter or wait for the new version to test DisplayFormatAttributes are applicable in your scenario.
Let us know if you have any further questions.
