MVVM Survival Guide for Enterprise Architectures in Silverlight and WPF

Conversion

Binding.StringFormat [SF]

• Use Binding.StringFormat for formatting source data for display when the target dependency property is of type string

Converter [C]

• Use IValueConverter for single binding source.
• Use IMultiValueConverter for multiple binding sources.
• Instantiate in the Resources section. Use with StaticResource.
• Convert() from source to target and ConvertBack() for otherwise.
• Use Binding.ConverterParameter for parameter to methods.
• If both [SF] and [C] are used, [SF] is applied after [C] for target update.
