DataMemberBinding with Converter only works on top level

[Manuel]

Hi,

I have more or less the same issue as in my other question.

I have the column defined like so:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn
    Header="Business Unit"
    UniqueName="BusinessUnit"
    DataMemberBinding="{Binding BusinessUnit, Converter={StaticResource BusinessUnitToStringConverter}}"
    TextAlignment="Center"
    Width="60"
    CellStyleSelector="{StaticResource BusinessUnitCellStyleSelector}"
    IsVisible="False"
    IsFilterable="True"
    IsReadOnly="True" />

For the top level, everything works as expected.
In the levels below, it seems like the converter isn't run:

The BusinessUnitToStringConverter should grab the description "PI" instead of the actual value of the enum "MuP".

I am on the latest version (2025.4.1111)

Is there a workaround, or will this be fixed in the next version?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Manuel

Hello Manuel,

I tested this in a sample application, however, I was unable to reproduce the reported behavior. On my end, all of the rows retrieve the Description attribute's value.

I attached the test project, so, would it be possible to give it a try and let me know how it goes?

Hi Stenly,

thank you for your response, I can confirm it works as expected in your example.

I will check again and try to reproduce it in the sample project.

 

Thank you and best regards

Hello Manuel,

Please take as much time as needed. If you are able to reproduce it, I will be glad to debug this scenario on my end.
