How to display bound checkbox using converter.
posted

I have xml data that comes in the form of "Y", "N", and "". I have a field defined with the converter but my grid fails to render any of the columns when I try to do this. Any Ideas?

<igDP:Field Name="read_only" Label="Read Only" DataType="{x:Type sys:Boolean}" Converter="{StaticResource MyBooleanConverter}"/>

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

{

if (value == null || value is System.DBNull)

{

return null;

}

else if (((string)(value)) == "Y")

{

return true;

}

else if (((string)(value)) == "N")

{

return false;

}

else

{

return null;

}

}

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

{

if (value == null)

{

return null;

}

else if (((bool)(value)) == true)

{

return "Y";

}

else

{

return "N";

}

}

    Hello,

    To get this to work, I had to modify the XAML accordingly:

    <igDP:Field Name="read_only" Label="Read Only"
                DataType="{x:Type sys:String}"
                Converter="{StaticResource MyBooleanConverter}">
            <igDP:Field.Settings>
               <igDP:FieldSettings EditAsType="{x:Type sys:Boolean}" />
            </igDP:Field.Settings>
    </    igDP:Field>
