radgridview column?

[sivakanth]

Hello telerik Team,
                           I have one clarification.
 I have a master page with 5 controls Including Gender Name(Male,Female). The Gender Name  designed in UI as combo box.data type is declared as boolean in both Business layer as well as database.

My problem is particularly about GenderName field
                       I want to display all details in radgridview from database.In database GenderName  is stored as boolean .but i want to display in grid male or female(that is text only not boolean).

How to do that one?

Hi sivakanth,

You may use an IValueConverter and convert the boolean property to Male/Female strings.

Hello Maya
                   I am also using converter here.But after that the column will nothing to display.

This is my XAML Code.Its contains two columns.Customer ID and GenderName

<Window.Resources>
        <local:BooleanConverter x:Key="Formatter"/>
</Window.Resources>

<telerik:RadGridView AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" CanUserReorderColumns="False" CanUserResizeColumns="False" IsTabStop="False"
             Name="radGridView1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="454" Height="149">
<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Customer ID" DataMemberBinding="{Binding CompanyID}" Width="120" />
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn  Header="Gender Name"  DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=GenderName,Converter={StaticResource GenderName,Mode=TwoWay}" />
</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>

This is my converter class.

class BooleanConverter:IValueConverter

    {

        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object    parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

        {

            string returnValue = string.Empty;

            if ((bool)value ==true)

            {

                returnValue = "Male";

                return(string)returnValue;

            }

            else

            {

                returnValue = "Female";

                return (string)returnValue;

            }

        }

  

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

        {

            throw new NotImplementedException();

                    }

In this sample where i mistake?
if i use wpf datagrid(microsoft datagrid) mean it will display correctly. but radgrid not display?

if i mistake any place kindly inform to me?

Hi sivakanth,

Looking at your code, I have found a small mistake in the definition of the GenderName column. You need to change the setting of the Converter:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn  Header="Gender Name"  DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=GenderName,Converter={StaticResource Formatter, Mode=TwoWay}" />

Hi sivakanth,

I am sending you a sample project illustrating how you may convert a boolean property from the business object to a Male/ Female value.
