[Solved] Custom ValueConverter

[Lawrence]

I would like to use some custom value converters with data I am displaying in the gridview.  I am able to use them in a custom column style /control template scenario, but I would also like to use them in place of the DataStringFormatter or in a similar way.

<

 

grid:GridViewDataColumn 
    HeaderText="Media Type" 
    DataFormatString="{}{0:c}"

 

 

 

 

 

    DataMemberPath="MediaType" />

I would like the ability to use like this:
    

 

<grid:GridViewDataColumn 
    HeaderText="Media Type" 
    DataFormatString="{}{0:c}"

 

 

 

 

 

    DataMemberPath="MediaType"
    DataConverter="{StaticResource DataConverter}"/>

Hi Lawrence,

What you need here is to use the DataMemberBinding property of the column and feed it with your converter.

I have prepared a small sample. It illustrates a way to use a custom value converter for displaying values in cells.

Please see the attached project.
