Newbie question: my boolean values are stored as int in Sqlite database. I therefore treat them as int in my model and viewmodel, but I want to treat them as boolean (true/false) in my RadDataForm. Is the proper way to do this by implementing IValueConverter, turning autogeneratefields off, defining customized fields via a data template, and applying said converter to all boolean fields? Or is there are quicker approach?

Hello Wayne,
The IValueConvert option that you already described would be the way to go if you want to approach the problem from the RadDataForm side. However, in my opinion (without having the whole picture) it would be easier to store the integer values (from the database) as booleans (in the view model). This way you will need to implement only the conversion when you fetch the data from the database. And when you need to send the values back to the database.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your response. That is where I ended up as about 1 hour ago (handling everything in my data access layer) and I concur completely with your advice!
Thanks,
