SilverlightShow: Data Conversion in Silverlight Data Binding Comments

RE: Data Conversion in Silverlight 2 Data Binding

I'm binding a list to a datasource.

Then running converters on the resultant values.

However if I try to update the values from an event I seem to get the wrong values. Any clues? Is the databound converter returning the value before I update it from my event? Hence me getting an old verion of the value?

Thanks if anyone has any clues on this.

Hi Ali,

I'm not aware of a way you can support that in design time. In my experience I would say that there is no way to do that, but don't just get my word for it.

In WPF you can achieve that with

Unfortunately the ElementName is not supported in Silverlight data binding.

Is there a way to bind The text value of textbox to itself. Don,t be confuesed. I have written a method which accept a string and then it returns that string in another format. Better say I want to do something like this:

<UserControl.Resources>

<myClasses:PersianFormattingConverter x:Key="PersianConverter"/>

UserControl.Resources>

In fact, I am wring an API to support Persian language in silverlight 2.0 because Silverlight doesnot support right to left text. So I have written a class to do that stuff. Now I can change the text of my controls in runtime in C# code to show persian text well. But I want to support it in design time, too.

Thank you very much.
