ListView text cell binding

[Colm]

Hi, 

I am using the text cell and I am wondering if I can bind multiple properties in my class to one cell.

 

For example, this is what I currently have;

 

<DataTemplate>

    <telerikListView:ListViewTextCell Text="{Binding client, StringFormat='Client: {0}'}" Detail="{Binding trans_date}" TextColor="Black" DetailColor="LightGray"/>
</DataTemplate>

 

And what I want to do is add another part to the stringformat. EG this: "StringFormat='Client{0} ~ ID: {1}"     - Is this possible, and if it is, can someone give me an example. 

Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Colm,

You can use a ValueConverter that returns a formatted string that combines multiple property values. 

For example:

<telerikListView:ListViewTextCell Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ClientItemConverter}}"
        Detail="{Binding trans_date}"
        TextColor="Black"
        DetailColor="Gray"/>

With that binding, you get the whole object passed to the ValueConverter in the value parameter:

public class ClientItemConverter  : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        var item = value as MyModel;

        return $"Client: {item?.client?.name}, ID: {item?.client?.id}";
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

I've attached a demo with the above approach, here is the result at run-time:
