Can I use an IValueConverter?

[Chandler]

Is it possible to use an IValueConverter with DisplayMemberPath?  For instance I have and object hierarcy as follows

class Item
{
    public ObservableCollection<ItemImage> Images {get; set;}
}

class ItemImage
{
    public ItemMedia MediaUrl {get; set;}
    public string Type {get; set;}
}

class ItemMedia
{
    public string High {get; set;}
    public string Mid {get; set;}
    public string Low {get; set;}
}

So I want to assign the coverflow's ItemSource to an ObservableCollection<Item>.  As you can see each Item can have more than one image associated with it; I would want the first one with a Type == "Full".  Then I would use the Mid proprty (which is basically the URI to the image).  The problem comes with trying to grab the correct image from the ObservableCollection.  Normally on an ItemsControl I would use a Converter to run a Linq query on that ObservableCollection and return the Mid.  I can't quite figure out how to do the equivalent with the coverflow control...perhaps I'm a little brain dead today.

Hello Chandler,

This functionality is not supported by the CoverFlow control at the moment. You can wrap your hierarchy with an addiitonal class and set a collection of wrapped items as ItemsSource instead of directly setting your collection to the CoverFlow. For example:

class WrappedItemImage : ItemImage { public string WrappedMediaUrl { get { //You can replace this code with use of value converter. return this.MediaUrl.Mid; } } }

Hope this helps.
