Why does this line of code

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Net, StringFormat=c}"/>

Output the result as $xx.xx when all my regional settings are set to UK. I expect it to output it as £xx.xx. Any ideas? I have tried different variations of the stringformat including StringFormat={}{0:C} but still get the same result.

Thanks for looking.
