WPF: change tooltip format on a slider c#

Question

I have a slider in c# defined like this:

C#

<Slider HorizontalAlignment="Center"  x:Name="rain_0"
                      Margin="3"
                      VerticalAlignment="Top"
                      Width="250"
                       Minimum="0" Maximum="1"  IsSnapToTickEnabled="True" TickFrequency="0.1"  AutoToolTipPrecision="1" AutoToolTipPlacement="BottomRight" ValueChanged="Slider_ValueChanged"/>

The tooltip shows the value of the slider with next format: 0,0 .

I want the tooltip displays the value with format 0.0 instead. Any easy way to acomplish this? I checked a bit about "ThumbToolTipValueConverter" but in my case maybe is to complex for my objetive. Another better way?

The comma comes from your regional settings.
If they were e.g. English you would see a point.

The article below shows how you can modify the auto tool tip.

Another way could be to suppress the auto tool tip
and show a text block below the slider which is data bound to the slider.
Then you could use any value converter you like.
