Problem
After changing the string format in the TextBox properties, the binding may be lost. The reason for this is that the duplicate backslashes in the binding path are replaced by single ones, so that the binding is broken. This is not due to Elvis himself, but to the development environment used by Elvis 3 (MS Visual Studio 2010).
Solution
If you install the available Service Pack 1 (available under https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34677), this error should no longer occur!
