hi all,

I am using WPF and since I am a newbie to it comparing traditional .net framework, i want to know that is there any way to check the value of binding column and show the results based on those value, as we do in .aspx pages while binding :

<%# Convert.ToInt32(Eval(UserType)) == 1 ? "Admin" : "User" %>

I want to perform the same thing in my WPF datagrid. Please see my code snippet below :

XML

<my:DataGridTemplateColumn Width="112">
                 <my:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                     <DataTemplate>
                         <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="5,8,5,0">
                             <TextBlock Text="{Binding UserType} "></TextBlock>
                                  </StackPanel>
                     </DataTemplate>
                 </my:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                 </my:DataGridTemplateColumn

Here, I am getting UserType as 1 or 2 which I want to show in string as "Admin" or "Normal User" based on the value. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Anurag

In WPF a system called DataTriggers is entierly, dedicated for this. You can use it like follows:

XML

<TextBlock>
    <TextBlock.Style>
        <Style>
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding UserType}" Value="1">
                    <Setter Property="TextBlock.Text" Value="Admin" />
                </DataTrigger>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding UserType}" Value="0">
                    <Setter Property="TextBlock.Text" Value="User" />
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
