Remarks

What IValueConverter and IMultiValueConverterthey are

IValueConverter and IMultiValueConverter - interfaces that provides a way to apply a custom logic to a binding.

What they are useful for

  1. You have a some type value but you want to show zero values in one way and positive numbers in another way
  2. You have a some type value and want to show element in one case and hide in another
  3. You have a numeric value of money but want to show it as words
  4. You have a numeric value but want to show different images for defferent numbers

These are some of the simple cases, but there are many more.

For cases like this, you can use a value converter. These small classes, which implement the IValueConverter interface or IMultiValueConverter, will act like middlemen and translate a value between the source and the destination. So, in any situation where you need to transform a value before it reaches its destination or back to its source again, you likely need a converter.
