How to Implement a BoolToVisibilityConverter

Question

In my app I would like to toggle the visibility of an item in a StackPanel. My Stackpanel contains an Image and a TextBlock. How would I properly use a BoolToVisibilityConve

Answer 1

Here is mine:

public class BoolToVisConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        return (value is bool && (bool)value) ? Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        return value is Visibility && (Visibility)value == Visibility.Visible; 
    }
}

Answer 2

There is already an implemenation of the converter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.booleantovisibilityconverter(v=vs.110).aspx

Answer 3

Try this:

public class BooleanToVisibilityConverter : IValueConverter
{
    private object GetVisibility(object value)
    {
        if (!(value is bool))
            return Visibility.Collapsed;
        bool objValue = (bool)value;
        if (objValue)
        {
            return Visibility.Visible;
        }
        return Visibility.Collapsed;
    }
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        return GetVisibility(value);
    }
    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
