wpf Value and Multivalue Converters Usage converters with ConverterParameter
Example
Show how to create simple converter and use ConverterParameter to pass parameter to converter. Multiply value by coefficient passed in ConverterParameter.
public class MultiplyConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
if (value == null)
return 0;
if (parameter == null)
parameter = 1;
double number;
double coefficient;
if (double.TryParse(value.ToString(), out number) && double.TryParse(parameter.ToString(), out coefficient))
{
return number * coefficient;
}
return 0;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
Using the converter
- Define namespace
xmlns:converters="clr-namespace:MyProject.Converters;assembly=MyProject"
- Define Resource
<converters:MultiplyConverter x:Key="MultiplyConverter"/>
- Use it in binding
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBox x:Name="TextBox" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Text,
ElementName=TextBox,
Converter={StaticResource MultiplyConverter},
ConverterParameter=10}"/>
</StackPanel>
