Interface for ValueConverter object

public interface IValueConverter

Remarks

When implementing this interface it is a good practice to decorate your implementation with a ValueConversionAttribute attribute to indicate to development tools between what data types your converter can convert.

[ValueConversion(typeof(Employee), typeof(Brush))]
class MyConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if (value is Dev)    return Brushes.Beige;
        if (value is Employee)  return Brushes.Salmon;
        return Brushes.Yellow;
    }
}

Methods

Convert(object, Type, object, CultureInfo)

Convert a value. Called when moving a value from source to target.

ConvertBack(object, Type, object, CultureInfo)

Convert back a value. Called when moving a value from target to source. This should implement the inverse of Convert.
