GridViewCheckBoxColumn binding to a short

[Timo]

Hello, I'm trying to bind a short datatype to a GridViewCheckBoxColumn but I'm getting a cast error.
I know if I bind to a bool datatype works ok so How can I bind a GridViewCheckBoxColumn to a short datatype assumming that 0=false/unchecked and 1=true/checked?

Thx

Hello Timo,

You can add a class implementing the IValueConverter Interface that would be responsible for transforming the short datatype to boolean value. For example, your custom converter may look similar to:

class ShortToBooleanConverter : IValueConverter
{

    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType,
        object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
  {
        var myValue = (short)value;
        if (myValue == 1)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

   public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType,
            object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return null;
   }
}

Then the definition of your GridViewCheckBoxColumn may be as follows;

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding MyShortValue,    
                        Converter={StaticResource ShortToBooleanConverter}}" />
