Silverlight - access string format from Binding in code

Question

I need to find string format from XAML binding in code. Lets say I have data grid where one of the columns is:

<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Header="DD" Binding="{Binding Field4, StringFormat=d}" />

I can access the field name like this:

dg.Columns
    .OfType<DataGridBoundColumn>()
    .Select(i => (i as DataGridBoundColumn).Binding.Path.Path)

Is there a way to access string format "d" ?

Try this

dg.Columns
    .OfType<DataGridBoundColumn>()
    .Select(i => (i as DataGridBoundColumn).Binding.StringFormat)
