Change DataPager text - silverlight

Question

This might sound like a strange request and i'm not sure if it's actually possible, but I have a Silverlight DataPager control where it says "Page 1 of X" and I want to change the "Page" text to say something different.
Can this be done?

In DataPager style there is a part by name CurrentPagePrefixTextBlock by default its value is "Page".
You can refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd894495(v=vs.95).aspx for more info.
One of the solution is to extend DataPager
Here is the code to do that
public class CustomDataPager:DataPager
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty NewTextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"NewText",
typeof(string),
typeof(CustomDataPager),
new PropertyMetadata(OnNewTextPropertyChanged));
private static void OnNewTextPropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var newValue = (string)e.NewValue;
if ((sender as CustomDataPager).CustomCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock != null)
{
(sender as CustomDataPager).CustomCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock.Text = newValue;
}
}
public string NewText
{
get { return (string)GetValue(NewTextProperty); }
set { SetValue(NewTextProperty, value); }
}
private TextBlock _customCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock;
internal TextBlock CustomCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock
{
get
{
return _customCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock;
}
private set
{
_customCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock = value;
}
}
public CustomDataPager()
{
this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(DataPager);
}
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
CustomCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock = GetTemplateChild("CurrentPagePrefixTextBlock") as TextBlock;
if (NewText != null)
{
CustomCurrentPagePrefixTextBlock.Text = NewText;
}
}
}
Now by setting NewText property in this CustomDataPager we can get whatever text we want instead of "Page"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Assembly which contains CustomDataPager"
<local:CustomDataPager x:Name="dataPager1"
PageSize="5"
AutoEllipsis="True"
NumericButtonCount="3"
DisplayMode="PreviousNext"
IsTotalItemCountFixed="True" NewText="My Text" />
Now it displays "My Text" Instead of "Page".
But other parts also need to be customised inorder make this work correctly!!
Hope this answers your question
