Display Formatting Within Objects
posted

Hi,

 

I have a service that returns a list of parents where each parent has a property of Person which is simply:

string FirstName { get; set; };

string LastName {get; set;}

 

On my UI, I want to combine these properties into a grid column of format, "LastName, FirstName".  How can I achieve this?  Each time I attempt to even just display the first name, the column is populated with a value like, namespace.ServiceReference1.Person.  I tried to override the ToString method but that was not reflected in the UI.

 

Thanks,

Kyle

    Hello Kyle,

    You could create a get property that will return a concatenated formatted string of the FirstName and LastName properties. Another way would be to create an UnboundField and use a Converter (IValueConverter) that will do this.
