You can use a MultiBinding for it:

   
                
    

    
        
        
    



using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Data;
public class DictValueConverter : IMultiValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if (values==null || values.Length<2 )
        {
            return false;
        }

        var dict = values[0] as IDictionary;
        if(dict.Contains(values[1]))
    {
        return dict[values[1]];
    }
        return "KeyNotFound";
    }
    public object[] ConvertBack(object value, Type[] targetTypes, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
