Class ListFormatter

If the source value is an array (or supports ICollection), then each item will be custom formatted. Syntax:

  1. "format|spacer"
  2. "format|spacer|last spacer"
  3. "format|spacer|last spacer|two spacer"

Syntax
public class ListFormatter : FormatterBase, IFormatter, ISerializationCallbackReceiver, ISource, IFormatterLiteralExtractor
Examples

The format will be used for each item in the collection, the spacer will be between all items, and the last spacer will replace the spacer for the last item only. In this example, format = "D", spacer = "; ", and last spacer = "; and ".
Format: {Dates:D|; |; and }
Arguments: {#1/1/2000#, #12/31/2999#, #9/9/9999#}
Result: "January 1, 2000; December 31, 2999"

Composite Formatting is allowed in the format by using nested braces. If a nested item is detected, Composite formatting will be used. In this example, format = "{Width}x{Height}". Notice the nested braces.
Format: {Sizes:{Width}x{Height}|, }
Arguments: {new Size(4,3), new Size(16,9)}
Result: "4x3, 16x9"
