ivalueconverter

I want to change the color of a WPF control depending on the state of a bool, in this case the state of a checkbox. This works fine as long as I'm working with StaticResources: My control <TextBox Name="WarnStatusBox" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{DynamicResource StatusTextBox}" Width="72" Height="50" Background="{Binding ElementName=WarnStatusSource, Path=IsChecked, Converter={StaticResource BoolToWarningConverter}, ConverterParameter={RelativeSource self}}">Status</TextBox> My converter: [ValueConversion(typeof(bool), typeof(Brush))] public class BoolToWarningConverter : IValueConverter {

I would like to write a static instance property in a base class and derive this, but I am facing some problems. Here is the code for the base class - I currently have: public abstract class ResourceInstance<T> { private static T _instance; public static T Instance { get { if (_instance != null) return _instance; var method = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(); var declaringType = method.DeclaringType; if (declaringType != null) { var name = declaringType.Name; _instance = (T)Application.Current.TryFindResource(name); } return _instance; } } } As you can see its primary use is for WPF Resources

I would like to use static texts fetched from a web service in my WP7 app. Each text has a Name (the indetifier) and a Content property. For example a text could look like this: Name = "M43"; Content = "This is the text to be shown"; I would then like to pass the Name (i.e. the identifier) of the text to an IValueConverter , which would then look up the the Name and return the text. I figured the converter to look something like this: public class StaticTextConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { if (value !=

I need to determine the StringFormat of some bound TextBlocks at runtime based on the unit system identified in the object to be bound. I Have a converter with a Dependency Property that I would like to Bind to. The Bound value is used in determining the conversion process. public class UnitConverter : DependencyObject, IValueConverter { public static readonly DependencyProperty IsMetricProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("IsMetric", typeof(bool), typeof(UnitConverter), new PropertyMetadata(true, ValueChanged)); private static void ValueChanged(DependencyObject source,

I'm in the midst of testing a user control I've built, and I'm encountering something that's inexplicable to me. The control's an extension of the ComboBox that handles values of a specific custom type. It has a dependency property of that custom type that is the target property of a Binding. I've got a trace statement in the setter, and I can see that the property is getting set. But it's not appearing in my user control. Now, ordinarily I'd say, okay, I've got a bug in my user control. I probably do, though I'm baffled about it. But this question isn't about finding the bug in my control.
