A number can be formatted in a XAML binding. The following GridViewColumn will be formatted to currency with two decimal points and a currency symbol:

DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Amount, StringFormat=C}"

There are many formatters available for example:

DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Amount, StringFormat=N2}"

This would format the number to two decimal places without the currency symbol.
